About Us
At Deep Sensations Freediving, we believe freediving is more than just a sport—it’s a journey of self-discovery, connection, and transformation. Founded by Curtis Tredway, a Molchanovs and SSI Freediving Instructor, underwater photographer, and ambassador for Seafrogs and Molchanovs, our mission is to help people fall in love with the ocean, unlock their potential, and experience the powerful mental and physical benefits of freediving.
​
We offer world-class freediving courses and training across Sydney, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Cronulla, and the Central Coast, providing Molchanovs and SSI courses tailored for everyone—from absolute beginners learning to hold their breath for the first time to advanced freedivers looking to refine their technique and explore deeper. In addition to our courses, we run retreats across AUstralias best diving locations and internationally.
​
But at Deep Sensations, it’s not just about depth—it’s about growth, confidence, and connection. Whether you’re a surfer, spearfisher, snorkeller, adventure-seeker, or just someone looking to expand their comfort zone, freediving has something to offer you.
A Community Above & Below the Surface
Freediving is about more than just individual achievement—it’s about connection. At Deep Sensations Freediving, we’ve built a community where people support, challenge, and grow together—both in and out of the water.
​
Whether you join us for a course, a social dive, or a retreat, you’ll become part of a tight-knit group of ocean lovers. We share dives, games, stories, and experiences that build lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.
​
From casual meet-ups and workshops to immersive freediving retreats in some of the world’s most breathtaking locations, we provide opportunities to learn, explore, and push your limits in a supportive environment.
Why We Dive
Freediving changed my life. The ocean has always been my escape, but I never realised how much it could teach me about myself. Through freediving, I found a sense of calm, mental clarity, and confidence that ripples through every aspect of life. I’ve seen the same transformation in hundreds of students—from those overcoming fears to those discovering the pure joy of moving weightlessly through the water.
Beyond the personal benefits, freediving deepens our connection to the ocean, nature, and each other. The more people fall in love with the sea, the more they want to protect it. At Deep Sensations, we hope to play a small part in ocean conservation efforts, inspiring a community that respects, protects, and thrives in the underwater world.

World-Class Training, No Ego
To be the best, you need to learn from the best. Our team has trained with some of the world’s top freedivers, national record holders, and elite instructors, shaping Deep Sensations into a school that delivers top-tier education with a personal touch.
​
I completed my Molchanovs Instructor course with Apnea Bali, training alongside Julia Mouce, one of the most respected freediving coaches in the world. My SSI Instructor certification was earned under the guidance of one of Australia’s top instructor trainers. I’ve also learned from freediving legends like Adam Stern and Yoram Zekri, as well as trained alongside world-class safety divers and national record holders diving to depths of 70-80m.
​
What does this mean for you? You get the best training possible, backed by real-world experience, scientific knowledge, and a deep understanding of what it takes to unlock your potential in the water.
Passion First, Business Second
Deep Sensations Freediving was never about building just another business. It was built on passion—a love for the ocean and a desire to share it. That’s why our focus is always on safety, support, and personal breakthroughs, not just hitting numbers or certifications.
We create an environment where every diver feels welcomed, challenged, and encouraged. Whether you’re diving to 10m or 30m, it’s about your personal journey, mental resilience, and the breakthroughs that come with it.

It's Not Just Freediving, It's A Way Of Life
At Deep Sensations Freediving, we’ll teach you the techniques—equalisation, breath-hold training, finning efficiency—but more importantly, we’ll help you discover a new way of moving through the water.
​
Freediving is a tool for growth, mindfulness, and adventure—a way to disconnect from the noise of life and reconnect with yourself. It’s a chance to challenge your limits, but also to surrender, relax, and embrace the silence of the deep.
