David watches magic occur when he creates space for his kids to expand and grow. Some days on the island he would not even see them until late in the afternoon as they were off on adventures of their own. The result of the space was that they expanded into it in the most beautiful way.

David sits down with Victor Escobar, one of four dive masters that make Thatch Caye their home. Victors story of leaving home in Guatemala at age 9, and finding his way to the islands of Belize, is one of courage, compassion and a true inspiration. It’s one persons journey to discovering and living their passion that we can all hope to aspire to. Holiday Shopping?
