Grant Hogan

Grant Hogan owns MTN Sea Fitness in Port Orford and is a three-time national record-holding freediver. Grant's deepest record-holding dive is 232 feet - a record that was only recently broken. Now retired from freediving, Grant spends his free time spearfishing along the southern Oregon coast. He's witnessed firsthand the decline of kelp in the area and the urchin explosion. He's also an advocate for eating more local urchins and the health benefits of fresh uni.
