Biography

Nate grew up between the mountains of Utah and the Pacific Ocean of Hawaii. After his first dive with his father in Mexico, Nate was hooked. He ultimately became a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, and spent years teaching and guiding dives. While working the famous Manta Ray Night Dive in Kona, Hawaii, he transitioned to a career in underwater videography. Nate now lives with a large crew aboard a pair of Expedition Sailing Vessels, filming full time for the USA Marine Educational Non-Profit Expedition Drenched, a 501c3 non-profit organization for marine education. He is currently sailing the world. We caught up with him last in the Indian Ocean.
