SSVTec LLC was started in 2014 by Matthew Bardsley with the goal of bringing a higher standard to commercial diving video and lighting equipment. Having worked in the industry for 5+ years designing and manufacturing commercial diver video systems, air control systems, and working as a Kirby Morgan maintenance and repair technician, he noticed expensive equipment with a lack of quality and design. Noticing this, he designed a system with more standard features and a professional look that costs less than most competitors.
