Wave 3 Freediving Course Now Running in Sydney & Wollongong

If you’re ready to push past the 30-metre mark, refine your technique, and even step into the world of professional freediving, Deep Sensations Freediving now offers Wave 3 Freediving Courses in Sydney, Wollongong, and across Australia.

We’re running these on demand, with flexible scheduling - whether you want to train on weekends, midweek, or during one of our retreats. If you’ve already nailed your Wave 2 and feel like you're ready to go deeper, we’ve created the perfect stepping stone to progress safely and confidently.

What Is the Wave 3 Course?

Wave 3 is the most advanced recreational freediving certification in the Molchanovs system. It’s designed for divers who want to:

• Dive to 34–40m+

• Hold their breath for 3:30+

• Master mouthfill and advanced equalisation

• Support and assist on courses

• Train for depth with a systemised, structured approach

Whether you’re a depth chaser, a future instructor, or someone who just wants to be as safe and skilled as possible in the ocean, Wave 3 is your launchpad.

Why Train Wave 3 With Deep Sensations Freediving?

We’re not like every other school. Our courses are small, flexible, and coached by one of the deepest and most experienced freedivers in Australia.

Learn From the Best

Curtis Tredway, founder of Deep Sensations Freediving, trained directly under Julia Mouce from Apnea Bali and Thibault Guignes, one of the deepest divers in the world at 125m. Thibault not only holds records - he helped write the Molchanovs textbook and shaped much of the education system used today by instructors worldwide.

With Curtis, you’re not just learning how to dive deeper. You’re learning why things work, and how to troubleshoot issues like advanced equalisation, dive response, and mental blocks. You’ll gain the tools and mindset to train safely for years to come.

Flexible Scheduling: Train When It Works for You

We now offer Wave 3 courses on demand in:

• Sydney

• Wollongong

• Cronulla

• Amed, Bali (through our retreat)

• And soon, via Australia's first full Master Freediver Program

You can choose a format that suits your life—private, semi-private, or as part of a retreat. Midweek or weekend. At home or overseas. We make it work for you.
