HOW OUR FREEDIVING EXPERIENCES CHANGE PEOPLE

Dan and the team run an awesome course. The first day of theory and pool training was great and gives you the foundations and confidence to build on on Day 2 for the shore dive and boat dive and hit some decent depths. I can't recommend this course enough and look forward to getting back out again soon. Thanks again guys.

Just enjoyed the hell out of a 4-day liveaboard freediving trip in the Whitsundays! Excellent instructors, super laid back, supportive and professional, plus an awesome yacht/kitchen crew to match. I went by myself and quickly made about 20 great friends. Highly recommend for all levels of diving experience, including total newbies.

Dan and the team have been amazing to me over the last few years. They are my go-to team for freediving in NSW. They also run awesome diving trips all across Australia and have such great knowledge and experience to share.

Wave 1 course was AMAZING. Dan is a really great instructor! The whole experience was so much fun! Each and every time we went into the water we improved! Coming from being a scuba instructor before this, I was nervous, but now I am a scuba diver turned freediver. I loved it. It was so zen and relaxing and exciting all at the same time. I am hooked! Excited to practice more and improve my skills! Thanks Dan! You were awesome!!

I recently went on Freediving Central's 4-day boat trip around the Whitsundays and can't recommend Dan and the team enough! It was my first time freediving and I'm hooked! The group was a mix of experienced and beginners and they catered to everyone's levels so well, so everyone was reaching their own goals whilst enjoying themselves. I felt completely safe the whole time and had so much fun with the guys. If you're looking for someone to learn or continue learning freediving with, you will not regret going with Dan and the Freediving Central team!!

Absolutely loved learning with these guys. I did my Wave 1 with a small group; it was informative, intimate and so much fun! We had plenty of water time and were able to navigate everything thoroughly and tailored to our abilities. Our instructor Livi Hosking was absolutely outstanding with an incredible wealth of knowledge, experience and patience. Can't wait for Wave 2!
