Welcome to Deep Sensations Freediving - Not Just Freediving Courses
At Deep Sensations Freediving, we put passion first, business second.
We're here to share our love of the ocean and the transformative world of freediving with both new and experienced divers.
Our founder, Curtis, is one of Australia’s deepest freedivers and has served as a Safety Diver for World and National Record attempts at the CMAS Freediving World Cup in the Philippines. With nearly a decade of experience in the dive and ocean sports world - as a Divemaster, surf photographer, spearfisher, surfer, and underwater photographer - he brings passion, safety, and soul to every course.
​
Curtis is also a big advocate for mental health and ocean confidence. Freediving helped him through his most challenging years, and now he’s made it his mission to create safe spaces for others to grow in and out of the water.

About our Freediving Retreats and Ocean Expeditions
At Deep Sensations, our retreats are built differently. We keep group sizes small, so you’re never lost in a crowd, and we mean it..other operators claim small group sizes and will have you in groups of 25+. We CAP our retreats, the absolute most guests we will have is 15, but we keep most at 6-8. You’ll get personalised attention, better in-water marine life encounters, deeper connections, and a much safer and more enjoyable experience in and out of the water.
​
Unlike other operators, we don’t overcharge or treat it like a school camp. There’s no pressure to perform, no strict itineraries—you’ll have the freedom to rest, explore, or go off the grid when you need it. Our trips are designed to be fun, supportive, and life-changing.
​
Each retreat has its own vibe - some are focused on marine life encounters, others on disconnecting from the noise, and some are all about developing your freediving skills with expert coaching. You choose what calls to you.
​
We proudly partner with local operators, venues, and Instructors and guides in every destination, helping boost local economies and ensure your experience is grounded in real culture and knowledge. We also prioritise ethical and sustainable tourism, from reef-safe products to minimal-impact diving and conservation education.
​
When you join a Deep Sensations retreat, you're not just diving - you’re part of something meaningful. You’re reconnecting with yourself, supporting local communities, and helping protect the ocean we all love.
