Best experience I have had with Freediving training!

Professional and clear communication throughout the process. Uses video as a complementary tool for analysis. Matthew is a very knowledgeable instructor on both topics of spearfishing and freediving. Patient, encouraging and focuses on giving you the opportunity to demonstrate your skills as an independent freediver.

If you have any interest in freediving or spearfishing and you're in the area of Plymouth UK or South West UK give him a call. Keep up the good work!

Hi, I'm Matt. I founded Spearfishing and Freediving Southwest in 2021. Growing up in Torquay, Devon, I spent much of my youth exploring the beautiful Devon coastline, spearfishing, and foraging. With over 17 years of experience in Devon and Cornwall, I enjoy sharing the skills and knowledge I've gained over the years. I believe that spearfishing is about connecting with nature, learning to sustainably catch your own food, and appreciating the incredible waters we have here in the UK.

These days, I teach spearfishing and freediving internationally, currently based in Bali but returning to the UK in the summer months to teach. I'm also a competitive freediver and hold the UK National record in Free Immersion at 104 meters.

My focus is on providing quality, sustainable training in spearfishing and freediving, with a friendly and approachable team. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, we're here to help you grow and reach your goals.
