welcome
Hello, I’m Matt Hill — UK Competitive Freediver, Instructor, Coach, and Spearfisherman with over 20 years of combined freediving and spearfishing experience.
Growing up in a small seaside town in the Southwest of England, I spent my youth exploring the wild Atlantic coastline. Always drawn to adventure and to testing my physical and mental limits, I went on to serve over a decade as an Royal Marine Commando.
Today, I travel the world freediving and spearfishing, sharing the ocean with others and teaching hundreds of students each year how to unlock their potential and discover what their mind and body are truly capable of. I base myself in ocean locations around the world, and also coach athletes of all levels remotely.

For me Freediving is a balance of mind, body, and trust in yourself. To dive deep we must learn to relax the mind, refine our skills, strengthen the body, and build unshakable confidence in our own abilities.
Freediving isn’t mastered overnight. It is a journey of practice, repetition, and patience. Each dive teaches us something about the ocean, about our limits, and most importantly, about ourselves.
Through this process freediving also gives us incredible self-confidence and a deep sense of personal power. When we train all aspects together , mental calm, physical fitness, technical skill, and self-belief we unlock the freedom to explore the underwater world in its purest form.
Freediving Philosophy
Tom S
"Working with Matt on my mouthfill technique was a total game-changer. He broke down the process in a way that finally made it click, and within just a few sessions I felt more confident and in control at depth. His knowledge and clarity are next level.
Emily D
"I had the chance to train with Matt in person and it completely elevated my diving. His attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to tailor sessions to my needs made a huge difference. I improved my equalisation and relaxation more in one week than I had in months before."
Lauren K
"Completing my Assistant Instructor course with Matt was an incredible experience. His professionalism, deep understanding of freediving, and mentorship gave me the skills and confidence to take the next step in my journey. I felt truly supported throughout the entire process."
