About

No snorkelling or freediving experience is necessary. We will provide a lesson out on the water & you will have in-water guides with you right by your side. We can provide a float to hold onto in the water if need be.

What is Freediving? We call it glorified snorkelling! Freediving is the art of taking a deep breath and diving down to explore the underwater world. It sounds dangerous, but in reality, it is deeply peaceful and relaxing. It offers everyone of any skill level, age, or competence the chance to explore our Blue Planet and catch a glimpse of life under the sea.

Time and Location Meeting at 10am

Plantation Point, Vincentia. Park near the toilet blocks. Here is the exact meeting location https://maps.app.goo.gl/eHLfYjHkJjBTb53u7?g_st=ic

Check parking signage thoroughly at the location as parking rangers patrol frequently. We generally meet at 10am, if there are any changes to the time you will be advised beforehand. If you are running late, please call us otherwise you may miss out!

What to Expect

• There is no other expedition quite like ours (as far as we know!). • Our expedition goes for 2 hours, but it is not spent entirely in the water. We cover the basics of breathing, equalisation, breath holding and meditation on dry land to make the in-water experience more enjoyable. • Our expeditions are educational, and we cater the experience to suit your skill level. We aim to share a decade of dive knowledge to improve your snorkelling. • The ocean is completely wild, nothing stays still, and anything can appear unannounced. That is part of the fun and excitement of Freediving! There are no guarantees on what marine life we will see, but it really doesn’t matter as the experience is about learning new skills, putting yourself out of your comfort zone and enjoying the therapeutic effects of Freediving. We ask that you attend the day with an open mind and positive attitude. Give it a really good go and do the best you can!

What to bring

• Warm clothes • Hat • Wind/Rain jacket • Towel • Swimmers • Water bottle • Dive equipment (if you are using your own) We highly recommend a 5mm wetsuit during Winter & Spring. Our hire suits are 5mm so if yours is not thick enough please rent ours for the day • Seasickness tablets (Kwells are available without a prescription at most pharmacies). We would highly recommend you take some if you are unsure as motion sickness will ruin your day • Your own GoPro or camera. We also film the expedition and can provide a WeTransfer link to the footage for $50, however, you are more than welcome to bring your own
