What if I’m not very fit?
You don’t need to be.
Freediving is not about strength, cardio fitness, or pushing harder. It’s about relaxation, technique, and nervous system control.
Many students are surprised to discover that the most relaxed person in the group often performs best.
If you can swim 200m comfortably, you’re fit enough to start.
 
What if I can’t hold my breath very long?
That’s completely normal.
Most beginners start thinking they can only hold their breath for 30–45 seconds.
By the end of the course, the vast majority comfortably achieve 1 minute 30 seconds or more.
Not because they “pushed harder.”
Because they learned how to relax properly.
Freediving is a skill, not a natural talent.
 
What if I’m afraid of deep water?
You’re not alone.
Fear usually comes from uncertainty and lack of structure. This course is designed to build confidence progressively, in a controlled and supportive environment.
You are never forced to dive deeper than you’re comfortable with.
And remember, this course is not about chasing depth.
It’s about learning how to stay calm when your body says you can’t.
Depth becomes a by-product of confidence.
 
How deep do I have to dive to get the certificate?
To complete the Beginner Freediver certification, the depth requirement is 12 to 20 metres.
However, the goal is not to “hit it at all costs.”
The goal is:
• To learn proper safety systems
• To understand equalisation
• To build real ocean confidence
• To dive comfortably and under control
If you finish the weekend diving safely and confidently, that is a huge win.
The value of the course is in the skills and experience, not the number, or even the piece of paper.
 
What if I don’t pass the requirements?
Freediving is not like scuba where you fail and walk away.
If you don’t meet a requirement during the weekend,  you can still go out get your own gear and start diving with buddies.
 
Plus, with us, you have up to 12 months to return for complimentary training sessions to complete your requirements.
 
We support you until you get there.
Because the real value of the weekend is the education, experience, and skill development - not the piece of paper.
 
Is certification included?
Yes.
Upon successful completion of the course requirements, you will receive an internationally recognised certification through:
• Molchanovs or SSI
Certification fees are included in your course price.
There are no hidden add-ons.
 
What if I don’t have any gear?
All gear hire is included.
You’ll be provided with:
• Mask
• Snorkel
• Wetsuit
• Fins
• Weight belt and weights
You do not need to purchase anything before the course.
 
Is freediving safe?
When taught correctly and practised with proper buddy systems, freediving is a structured and safety-driven sport.
From day one, you will learn:
• Buddy procedures
• Rescue protocols
• Surface supervision systems
• Real-world safety drills
Safety is not an afterthought. At Deep Sensations Freediving, our Head Instructor, Curtis Tredway is one of the only Instructors in Australia with experience as a Safety Diver an a National and World Cup level. 
It is the foundation of the course.
 
Am I too old to start?
There is no upper age limit.
Freediving is low-impact, joint-friendly, and accessible to people of all backgrounds.
We’ve trained teenagers, professionals, parents, and retirees.
Age is rarely the limiting factor.
 
Relaxation is the skill that matters.
 
What if I’m still unsure?
That’s normal.
Most people feel nervous before their first freediving course.
 
By the end of the weekend, the most common feedback we hear is:
“I didn’t realise I was capable of that.”
 
You don’t need to commit to becoming a lifelong freediver.
