Learn to spearfish safely and confidently at some of NSW’s best coastal locations
Spearfishing isn’t about chasing fish - it’s about learning to move through the ocean calmly, safely, and with respect.
Too many people are introduced to spearfishing without the right foundations, which often leads to stress, unsafe habits, or a lack of confidence in the water. At Deep Sensations Freediving, we believe learning to spearfish should feel safe, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable, especially for beginners.
That’s why our spearfishing courses follow a calm, progressive structure, with small group sizes and experienced instructors guiding you every step of the way. Skills are built gradually throughout the day, pressure is kept low, and confidence grows naturally. By the end of the course, most students are surprised by how comfortable they feel in the water and handling a speargun.
This summer, our spearfishing courses across Sydney, Wollongong, and the Central Coast have already had a strong start, with every course filling quickly as more ocean lovers choose to learn the right way - safely, ethically, and with confidence.
One Course. Same Delivery. Different Locations.
No matter which location you choose - Sydney, Wollongong, or the Central Coast, you’ll receive the same:
Safety-first instruction
Calm, progressive learning approach
Small group sizes
Premium gear included
Ethical spearfishing education
Experienced instructors in the water with you
The only thing that changes is the coastline you’re exploring.
Spearfishing Courses in Sydney
Our Sydney spearfishing courses are run at carefully selected coastal locations that offer protected entries, consistent conditions, and great learning environments close to the city.
Sydney is ideal if you want:
Easy access from the CBD or surrounding suburbs
Well-known coastal dive sites
A true urban ocean experience
Convenient course dates
Despite being Australia’s largest city, Sydney offers excellent spearfishing conditions and our Sydney courses have been filling fast this summer, with many students booking well in advance.
Spearfishing Courses in Wollongong
Wollongong is where Deep Sensations Freediving was born, and it remains one of the most popular locations for our spearfishing courses.
With its rugged coastline, accessible reefs, and strong local dive culture, Wollongong offers a classic NSW spearfishing experience just south of Sydney.
Wollongong is a great choice if you want:
Iconic South Coast reef systems
A slightly quieter coastal feel
Clear water and varied marine life
Easy access from Sydney and the Illawarra
Many of our Wollongong spearfishing courses have sold out early this season, largely due to repeat students and word-of-mouth referrals.
Spearfishing Courses on the Central Coast
The Central Coast spearfishing courses run in beautiful coastal locations between Sydney and Newcastle, known for their clarity, reef structure, and relaxed pace.
The Central Coast is ideal if you want:
Stunning, less crowded coastal sites
A more relaxed coastal atmosphere
Great weekend getaway vibes
Easy access from both Sydney and Newcastle
Central Coast courses have also seen strong demand this summer, with limited spots available to maintain small group sizes.

A Safe, Supportive Way to Learn Spearfishing
We know spearfishing can feel intimidating at first - especially if it’s your first time freediving or using a speargun.
That’s why every course is run in a calm, supportive environment, with instructors guiding you step by step and adapting the pace to the group.
You’re never rushed.You’re never pushed.And you’re never expected to already “know what you’re doing”.
By the end of the day, most students are surprised by how comfortable and confident they feel.
