Kalani Das, Dive Master — Scuba Life instructor

Kalani Das

Dive Master

A world-class percussionist, board-certified music therapist, Orff-certified educator, and author of Together in Rhythm and The Way of Music, Kalani has spent his life helping people find their groove. Now, as a Dive Master with Scuba Life, he brings that same gift of rhythm, creativity, and connection into the ocean.


He’s shared stages with legends like Yanni, Kenny Loggins, and Barry Manilow — but these days, he’s sharing underwater adventures with divers of every level. Kalani has a knack for making students feel at ease, guiding new divers through the natural “beat” of breathing, buoyancy, and balance.


At Scuba Life, Kalani doesn’t just lead dives — he makes every dive approachable, safe, and memorable for divers of all levels.

✨ With Kalani, diving feels like music: calm, connected, and full of wonder.
