Matt Lopez grew up on the water spending his weekends on the beach with his family and during the week competing for a local swim team. Matt swam NCAA Division I college for California State Northridge, was a lifeguard and went on to coach two club swim teams for over 10 years. After a hiatus from the water to attempt a professional boxing career, a back injury brought him back to the pool and Ocean where he discovered freediving. A natural transition from swimming to freediving has fueled his passion to focus on proper technique and achieving deeper depths safely. Matt has experience in freediving and spearfishing in both Northern and Southern California. Private classes are also available please contact Matt at (949) 514-4839 or matt@darkwaters.co
