Hey guys, Matthew here!

As a marine wildlife cinematographer and dive expedition leader, I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to share the magical underwater world with you. My mission, my ikigai, is to conserve, restore, and protect our oceans and our planet through storytelling, education, and action.

As Director of Dive Expeditions at Oceans Nation, a monthly contributor for Discovery, and Only One ambassador, my ocean adventures take me around the world, from the pristine coral reefs of Indonesia to the epic coastlines of Baja California, Mexico. With over two decades of dive experience across six continents, I have witnessed both the beauty and fragility of our marine ecosystems. I firmly believe the creation of more protected marine sanctuaries is a critical element of the solution to protect the ocean and restore marine wildlife. We owe it to future generations to give the ocean time and space to heal so it may again thrive as it has for millions of years prior to the introduction of its biggest threat… humans.
