Jervis Bay gives you a brilliant place to learn how to slow things down underwater. Freediving Central runs beginner and progression courses from Huskisson, combining structured theory, pool work and open-water sessions so you can build skills in a clear sequence rather than simply trying to go deeper.
If you are new to freediving, Level 1 covers the foundations of breathing, relaxation, equalisation, buddy safety and depth technique. Certified divers can continue into Level 2, where the focus moves towards deeper equalisation, stronger mental routines and more efficient diving.
The teaching style stays deliberately low-pressure. Recent course feedback regularly mentions patient instructors, plenty of individual attention and divers making progress because they felt calm and supported, not rushed.
Our Jervis Bay courses run from Huskisson. Day one covers theory and pool work, where you learn the foundations of breathing, relaxation, equalisation and buddy safety before you ever hit the ocean. Day two takes those skills into the clear, protected waters of Jervis Bay, a beautiful place for a first open-water dive.
Once you’re certified, Level 2 builds on it right here in the bay, with deeper equalisation work and stronger mental routines as you work towards 24 to 30 metres. Sessions are shaped around the conditions and your group’s level, so every diver finds a comfortable rhythm rather than chasing a set number.
Every course includes your gear: mask, snorkel, freediving fins, weight belt and weights. Wetsuits are available for hire with a $40 cleaning fee. Payment plans are available on all courses, and we take group and corporate bookings if you would rather learn alongside people you already know.
The course itself is only part of what makes freediving stick. You learn the safety system, equalisation, breathing and technique, but you also meet people who understand why spending a weekend holding your breath underwater somehow sounds like a good idea.
Jervis Bay courses currently run from Huskisson, using local pool and open-water settings across the course pathway. Sessions are shaped around the conditions and the level of the group, with instructors focused on helping each diver find a comfortable rhythm rather than keeping everyone on the same performance target.
That approach matters for beginners who arrive nervous, and it matters just as much for experienced divers working through a plateau. Current feedback across Freediving Central repeatedly praises the relaxed atmosphere, patient coaching and the sense that people are supported according to their own ability.
You leave with a certification pathway, but ideally you also leave with safer habits, more confidence and people you would happily get back in the water with.
Discover various breathing techniques that are commonly used in freediving and relaxation practices. Whether you’re an experienced freediver or someone looking to reduce stress and anxiety, these techniques can help you achieve your goals.
