Featured Diver: Matt From SEA BENEATH

MEET MATT — COLD WATER DIVER. COACH. COMMUNITY BUILDER.

 Founder of Sea Beneath. 5,000+ dives. One mission: to explore the wildest waters on Earth — and take others with him. 

Ever wonder what it’s like to dedicate your life to the ocean?


For Matt, it started with watching David Attenborough as a kid. Fast-forward 15 years, and he’s diving in Fiji, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines — chasing sharks and discovering hidden reefs.


But it wasn’t until he slipped into the cold, wild waters of Canada that everything changed.


 “The moment I hit the water here, I knew I was home.”

“MY MOST MEANINGFUL DIVE?” “My mom had never dived before. She flew in from the UK, learned the basics, pulled on a drysuit, and came underwater with me in Howe Sound.

That was unforgettable.”

 THE GEAR THAT KEEPS HIM GOING For cold-water missions, Matt trusts:

BCD: XDEEP

Regs: Scubapro

Drysuits: Fourth Element & Santi

Fins: Jetfins — “They’re unbeatable.”

From sidemount to backmount, every piece of gear is dialed in for safety, power, and comfort.

 

HIS CANADIAN DIVE MAP (SO FAR) Matt leads trips to: 📍 God’s Pocket – World-class cold-water biodiversity 📍 Skookumchuck Rapids – Wild currents, epic life 📍 Agamemnon Channel – Remote, untouched, unbelievable

What’s next?

 Wreck diving off Canada’s East Coast 

 And his dream dive: The Northwest Passage

 “Let’s make it happen.”

 WHY DIVE COLD? “Because it’s hard. Because it’s wild. Because almost no one else does. Few people have seen what lies beneath the surface. Even fewer have seen what’s beneath it here — in Canada.”

That’s what drives Matt. That’s what drives Sea Beneath.

 And if you're ready to dive differently — this is your sign.
