Most freediving schools focus on getting you certified as fast as possible.

At Deep Sensations Freediving, we slow things down, because we care more about your experience, safety, and long-term confidence than ticking a box on a card.

Freediving should feel calm, supportive, and empowering, not rushed or pressured.

 

Here’s what genuinely sets Deep Sensations Freediving apart:

All Gear Included, Always
Mask, snorkel, wetsuit, fins, and weights are all included. No stress, no scrambling for gear, no extra costs.

 

Stress-Free Certification
If you don’t meet a requirement on the weekend, you don’t fail. You can return and train again for free until you’re ready. Learning comes first, certification follows.

 

No Hidden Fees
What you see is what you pay.
All premium gear hire, certification fees, eLearning materials, pool access, and lane hire are included. No add-ons, no surprises.

Community for Life
When you train with us, you join the DS Crew, Australia’s most active freediving community. Regular social dives, retreats, events, and ongoing support well beyond your course.

 

Highly Qualified, Real-World Team
Our instructors have trained alongside world-record holders, worked as safety divers for athletes and competitions, and have years of real ocean experience and with all sorts of marine life, not just classroom hours.

 

Industry-Leading Safety Standards
