Mathias
Founder
Meet Mathias, a natural teacher and ocean lover. Before beginning his diving career, Mathias was a teacher in Belgium. The desire to change his lifestyle brought him to the south of Mexico as a dive instructor. There, he guided groups interacting with salt water crocodiles. It was these wildlife encounters that made him realize his love for sharing the water with big animals.
After finding his way to Baja California -the perfect spot for big animal encounters- and with over over 10 years of experience in the diving industry, Mathias makes sure to share his love of the ocean with everyone on board.
