Deep Sensations Freediving: Where Passion Meets Purpose

Deep Sensations Freediving, founded by Curtis Tredway, is more than just a freediving school. Based in New South Wales, we offer premier freediving education across Cronulla, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Sydney, and the Central Coast. We specialize in providing both SSI and Molchanovs freediving courses designed for everyone—from complete beginners to advanced divers. But Deep Sensations is about more than just courses—it's about community, passion, and personal transformation.

How Freediving Changed My Life

Freediving wasn’t just something I stumbled upon—it changed my life in profound ways. Growing up near the ocean, I always felt a connection to the water, but it wasn’t until later that I discovered how truly powerful this connection could be. Freediving became a way for me to manage my mental health, find clarity, and discover a sense of freedom that I never knew existed. The breath-hold, the calm beneath the surface—it’s all a form of meditation for me. Through freediving, I’ve been able to connect with myself and the ocean in ways that have completely shifted my perspective on life.

Business Second, Passion First

When I started Deep Sensations Freediving, it wasn’t just to create another business. It's passion first, business second. I’ve always been driven by my love for the water and the desire to share that with others. That’s why our focus at Deep Sensations is on creating a safe, supportive, and immersive environment for our students. Whether you're diving to 10 meters or 30, it's about the journey and the personal breakthroughs that come with it. I’ve trained with some of the world’s best, from national record holders like Julia Mouce at Apnea Bali to the likes of Yoram Zekri, a former world champion. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s what I live for.

Building a Community—In and Out of the Water

Freediving has always been about connection for me. Not just with the ocean, but with people. The community that has formed around Deep Sensations Freediving has given me more than I could have ever imagined. Outside of the water, it’s this community that has kept me grounded and driven. We don’t just teach freediving here; we build connections. Whether it's during a dive or sharing stories around a fire at one of our retreats, the bonds formed in this community are powerful and lasting. I’ve made it my mission to foster this sense of belonging both in and out of the water. It’s not just about diving deeper; it’s about diving deeper together.

Training with the Best, So I Can Give My Best

I’ve always believed that to be the best, you need to learn from the best. My journey into freediving started with Adam Stern, one of the most respected figures in the freediving world. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of training with countless national record holders from across the globe, each of whom has shaped my approach to teaching and diving. I completed my Molchanovs Instructor course with Apnea Bali, working alongside some of the most elite freediving coaches in the world. I also earned my SSI Instructor certification under the guidance of one of Australia’s most experienced instructor trainers. These experiences have given me the tools to pass on world-class knowledge to my students, ensuring that each diver I work with receives the highest level of training and support.

The Deep Sensations Difference

At Deep Sensations, we do things a little differently. Sure, we’ll teach you the techniques to equalise properly, improve your breath-hold, and dive deeper than you thought possible—but we also focus on your personal growth. It’s about finding peace in the water, conquering fears, and realising what you're capable of. With courses that range from beginner to advanced levels, and a growing community of ocean lovers, Deep Sensations Freediving offers more than just education—it offers transformation.
