By day, Donovan Fitzgerald is your typical IT professional, but come the weekend, he transforms into a NAUI instructor!

He juggles life as a husband, father of two, and proud pet parent, all while being a doting Pop Pop to his amazing grandson. Hailing from Nashville, TN, he made the big move to Florida in 2017. Although he took up diving a bit later in life, thanks to some truly fantastic mentors, he dove headfirst into the challenge and earned the privilege of being an instructor.

His love for the ocean and its critters is infectious—just watch him light up over the smallest fish! With a repertoire of dad jokes that could make anyone groan, a knack for translating Southern dialects into plain English, and some underwater shenanigans that are sure to make a splash, he spreads joy both above and below the waves. His ultimate thrill? Watching others blossom and pick up new skills.

Come join the fun and be part of the family!
