Try Freediving Course

Try Freediving Course
Sydney & The Central Coast

Try Freediving is the perfect course for those people who want to experience freediving, but don’t feel confident in the open ocean or aren’t ready for deep freediving just yet.

Try Freediving is the perfect introduction to freediving. It’s a 1 day course, held both in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and on the Central Coast. During this course, we will focus on having fun, being confident in the water, and recognising the feelings we have while holding our breath so that we can become more comfortable and relaxed in the water.

Try Freediving is a pool-focused course. It includes a full theory session, a breathing session and 2 pool sessions. (If weather permits, we may have 1 pool session and 1 shallow ocean session instead.)

The theory and breathing session involves knowledge development about freediving and safety, introduction to equalisation (getting those ears popping), what happens to our body as we hold our breath, relaxation and mental techniques and breathing techniques for breath holding.

The pool sessions will put all of these techniques into practice as we try static apnea (breath holding in the water) as well as introduce dynamic apnea (swimming distance under water), safety training and the most important skill of all… how to blow bubble rings!

You will leave this course feeling confident in the water, having expanded your comfort zone and feeling excited to test your new skills in the ocean next time you are swimming or snorkeling.

There is also the option to extend your course to the full Level 1 or Wave 1 freediving course where we will combine all of the skills learnt from the Try Freediving course in the open ocean with depth diving techniques to get you deep!

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!
