Sela - Dive Instructor - Sela is excited to return for her second summer as a dive instructor at ActionQuest. She had a blast living it up in the BVIs, where she loved teaching her students how to dive. Sela can’t wait for more sailing and diving around the islands with old and new students. She is currently a student at the University of Miami, getting her degree in nursing. Sela can’t wait to see everyone down in the BVI!
Aidan - Mate/Medic - Aidan grew up a short drive away from the beautiful San Francisco Bay. He fell in love with nature and took every chance to be outside sailing, hiking, surfing, or backpacking. Aidan currently attends UC Santa Barbara, where he continues sailing, diving, and surfing! SHAKA!!!! Aidan was lucky enough to join Seamester last summer on their 20-day voyage, and he immediately fell even more in love with the ocean than before. He has previously worked as a landscaper and lifeguard for the past six years, but he wants to share and teach all he knows about our beautiful home while earning the skills he needs for a Yachtmaster. Aidan is also a college track athlete!
Matty P - Skipper - Matt Pidden (better known as Matty P to his shipmates) is one of our fastest skippers at Action Quest. He is excited to return for his second year and has his eyes set on the big prize of winning all three race days after missing out last summer and only securing two 1st place finishes. Matt had grown up by the water, surfing, and windsurfing from a young age and only took up sailing when he was 16. However, since then, he has gone on to race yachts worldwide, including a 36-day race from the Philippines to Seattle, 7200nm across the North Pacific, and more recently, just this April, from Hong Kong to the Philippines. Matt somehow also found the time to get his 200ton offshore Masters license and spend three months hanging out on Seamester’s own Argo. While Matt excels in the harsh offshore racing conditions, he is beyond excited to have a break from Bristol University, reunite with his ActionQuest friends, and enjoy a summer of chill cruising in the BVIs.
