There Are Lots Of Other Great Freediving Schools In Sydney...So Why Choose Us?
We understand the plethora of options available when it comes to choosing a freediving school or instructor, so how do you navigate through the choices to find the perfect fit?
​
Firstly, let's debunk a common misconception: the name of the school or certification agency doesn't hold the key to your success. Whether it's SSI, PADI, Molchanovs, AIDA, or any other acronym, they're merely letters on a certificate.
What truly matters is the person guiding you – your instructor.
​
A great Freediving instructor isn't just someone with knowledge; they're someone who puts you at ease, especially during your
Level 1 Beginner Course. They'll be right there beside you for every dive, instilling confidence and helping you realise your full potential. They prioritise your experience by ensuring you spend ample time in the water, honing your skills and fostering a supportive learning environment.
​
Starting something new can indeed feel overwhelming, and it's completely normal to have nerves (though, trust us, there's no need!). The best way to find the right instructor or school for you is to start with a conversation. Feel free to reach out to us via message or phone call. If you're still unsure, that's okay – we encourage you to explore other options until you find the perfect fit for your needs and comfort level.
Your journey into freediving should be as enjoyable as it is rewarding, and we're here to ensure just that.
