Beginner Freediving Course - Sydney - Alexandria

Foundations of Freediving

In our Level 1 or Wave 1 course, you'll master the foundations of freediving, including equalisation, breath-holding, and relaxation techniques. You'll learn the physical and mental skills needed to begin your freediving journey and dive to depths of 12-20 meters on a single breath!

Stunning Locations

Our course takes place amidst the stunning backdrops of Sydney’s Northern Beaches and Eastern Suburbs. It's perfect for complete beginners and individuals with prior freediving, spearfishing, surfing, or diving experience who have yet to undergo formal freediving training.
