Beginner Freediving Course
Sydney & The Central Coast

Level 1 or Wave 1 is where you will learn the foundations of freediving, equalisation, breath-holding and relaxation in the water. You will learn all the physical, mental techniques to start your freediving journey and dive to a depth of 12-20 meters on a single breath!

Our course takes place amidst the stunning backdrop of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, and the tranquil waters of the Central Coast. It caters not only to complete beginners but also to individuals with prior freediving, spearing, surfing, or diving experience who have yet to undergo formal freediving training. On top of that, we can cater for group bookings too if you were looking at giving freediving a crack with your friends!

Whether you’re starting from scratch or seeking to refine your existing skills, our Level 1 course is the ideal platform to nurture your passion for the underwater world.

Join us to unlock the wonders of the ocean’s depths and discover the harmony between mind and water that freediving brings.

The first day involves knowledge development about equalisation, freediving, and safety, as well as breathing and breath hold techniques and relaxation. This is followed by a pool session to put these techniques into practice, as well as introduce dynamic apnea (swimming distance underwater), and safety training for rescues.

The second day consists of 2 open-water sessions. The first session is designed to get you comfortable with equalisation, free immersion, and depth diving techniques. In the afternoon the second open-water session will bring all the skills that you have learnt together in constant weight freediving to get you deep!

The following gear for the course is included for free mask, snorkel, freediving fins, weight belt, and weights. Wetsuits can be rented with a cleaning fee of $40.

All certifications for our courses are recognised worldwide. You have the choice to complete an SSI or Molchanovs Program.

This course also includes a free Freediving Central training program so you can continue training and progressing in your freediving.

HOW OUR 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!
