Fàilte oirbh! I am Dan the Merman, a professional wild swim coach and guide in the beautiful Mid-Argyll region of Scotland. Based in the heart of Argyll, I offer high quality professional open water coaching and guided wild swim/snorkel experiences for all abilities across this stunning corrugated landscape, the "adventure coast" of Scotland.

If you'd like to explore majestic west coast waters for a guided swim or snorkel with RLSS open water safety cover or book a bespoke coaching experience, join me to immerse your senses in the Argyll Hope Spot

This is a unique marine protected area and first of its kind in Scotland. I work closely with this community led initiative across Loch Sween, the Sound of Jura and Loch Sunart.

Discover the natural wonders of the "coast of the Gael" through the lens of a Gael. I am passionate about the indigenous language and culture of our coastline, Gaelic, and enjoy sharing knowledge of its intrinsic connection to nature.
