Mtnsea aquatic

My name is Grant Hogan. Besides owning and operating MtnSeaFitness in Port Orford I am an avid freedive spearfisherman, interested in just about anything that gets me into the ocean. Growing up I was in the water as much as possible and started scuba diving at a young age. By the time I turned 18 I already had hundreds of scuba dives under my belt and became a Padi certified dive master on the island of Oahu in Hawaii where I attended college. When I wasn’t out on the boat working as a dive master I was swimming off shore teaching myself to freedive and spearfish. It did not take long for my love of spearfishing to overcome scuba diving. Although I could hold my breath for a considerable about of time and dive deeper than most I still had a lot to learn about the sport. When I moved to south Florida after college I continued working as a dive master and was presented with the opportunity to expand my freediving training. I took a life changing course through Performance Freediving International and in a matter of days I was able to nearly double my previous breath hold and depth “bests” and become a much safer diver. It wasn’t long after that I began training for my first freediving competition and eventually became an instructor for Performance Freediving International. Through the course of my competitive career I broke 3 national records in constant weight no fins, the deepest being to 71 meters(232 ft). Wanting to gain new experiences I moved to North Carolina then Oregon and worked as a whitewater river guide for 7 seasons which ultimately led me down the Rogue River and onto the coast where I found Port Orford. These days if I’m not spending time with my family or working you can bet I’m trying to get into the water.
