I'm an underwater addict having fun as an SSI Divemaster and working to improve my skills. Primarily dive in the Columbia River and any other local waters I can find. I enjoy working with new divers and introducing them to the challenges and rewards of river diving. Favorite dive is "Monument" at Lake Chelan. Most unique dive was the Trident Missile Silo.
Matt discovered scuba diving in the Virgin Islands in 2014 and has been hooked ever since. He became an Assistant Instructor in 2018. While he is a cold-water diver most if the time, he does really enjoy warm water diving when he gets the chance. Matt enjoys working with students and witnessing the transformation from landlubber to scuba diver. He is also fascinated by octopus and loves interacting with them on dives.
