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 beyond.

Discover the natural wonders of the coast of the Gaels 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.
