MATTHEW COOK, the President of SeaView Geophysical, has a background in Electronic Systems Engineering. He began his career as a weapons systems technician in the Royal Australian Navy. After his service, Matthew transitioned into the offshore oil and gas industry, where he gained global experience, first in seismic surveys and later pursuing his passion for underwater robotics. In 1998, he founded SeaView Systems, Inc., establishing the company as a global leader and innovator in the development of custom underwater vehicles and tools. Over the course of 25 years, he managed more than 100 projects, including long-distance tunnel inspections, underwater infrastructure investigations, surveys, and remediation. In 2023, Matthew founded SeaView Geophysical, which focuses on underwater Advanced Geophysical Classification surveys for unexploded ordnance (UXO), primarily serving government agencies and the offshore construction industry.

DARREN LINDERMAN is the Operations Manager at SeaView Geophysical. He began his career as a commercial diver. In 2011, while working on a construction project with Darren—who was then in his early 20s—Matthew recognized his potential and hired him at SeaView Systems, where he received training as a pilot/technician.

Darren quickly established himself as a competent ROV pilot/technician, with a particular affinity for marine operations. His natural leadership abilities allowed him to advance into leadership positions, and he has since led projects around the globe. Known for his quiet competence and excellent communication skills, Darren is highly sought after as a project superintendent by those familiar with his work. He has built a solid reputation for effectively managing projects and teams, consistently delivering excellent outcomes in a safe and efficient manner.
