Ready Yourself for the Journey of a Lifetime

If you’re ready to put your wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and fins on, here’s what you can expect from us:

  • PADI freediving course. Beginner to master level. Level one is a two-day course that includes theory and practical. Topics covered include breathing techniques, the physiology of freediving, and dive safety. Level two is also a two-day course, but we train you to meet the requirements of a 50 m dynamic swim, a two-and-a-half-minute breath hold, a 20m depth dive, and a 10m depth rescue. In the level three course, the objective is a static apnoea of 3.5 minutes and a dynamic apnoea of 75m.
  • Molchanovs freediving course. This course, founded by Natalia Molchanov, includes four levels of ‘laps,’ conducted in a pool, or ‘waves,’ that happen in open water. 
  • Kilsby sinkhole retreat. Near Mt Gambier, SA, where you can expect 40m of clear visibility. The package includes four nights’ accommodation, two sessions at the sinkhole, and pool entry for confined water training sessions. Equipment hire and night dives are additional options.
  • Whitsunday spearfishing. Five-day and four-night trips where you stay on a maxi yacht, fully catered. Besides spearfishing, the experience includes exploring the reef and freediving in spots where you can see for up to 15m.

“I was really impressed from start to finish with the whole course, especially with the extra one-on-one attention that was provided to divers who needed help. As a result, I am now a more relaxed and safer diver, holding my breath longer and more comfortably than ever. I believe this course has something to teach everyone, new or old.” Leigh Dowel
