In Memory of Steven Mattaboni
It is with deep sadness that the WAUC acknowledges the passing of Steven Mattaboni. On behalf of the committee and all members, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Steven’s family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved him.
Steven was a valued member of the spearfishing community through Bluewater Freedivers WA, and his loss is felt not only by those closest to him but by divers and ocean lovers across Western Australia. Moments like these remind us how closely connected our community is, both in and out of the water.
To anyone who is feeling impacted, whether directly or indirectly, please know that the WAUC committee and our members are here for you. Lean on your mates, reach out if you need support, and remember that no one in our community stands alone during times of grief.
A GoFundMe has been created to support Steven’s partner, Shirene, and their two young daughters during this incredibly difficult time. If you are able, please consider contributing at or sharing the link below:
