Diving with Sharks to raise vital funds for Macmillan!
Some call him 'Dangerseeker', others call him 'Matt'. We know him as Salford Shark Bait.
Matt Walsh aka Salford Shark Bait!
In 1999, Matt fulfilled a lifelong ambition to learn how to Scuba Dive. Since then he has dived in several beautiful places all over the world and has achieved the qualification of 'Rescue Diver'.
So now he wants to carry out another lifelong ambition and that is to swim with Great White Sharks.
After planning for some time on how to take this 'trip of a lifetime' he also wanted to help in another way because he has an opportunity to raise money for a charity and in return, he would share the ocean with great white sharks.
So after reading and listening about various charities, Macmillan Cancer Support struck a cord. After what they achieve he didn't hesitate for one second, this is who he wanted to support and get as much money donated as possible.
Matt has funded the entire trip himself, from flights to accommodation, to taxi fares to the airport to the book he will be buying at the airport! He is paying for it all.
