A few reminders:

We highly encourage taking a freediving course with us to learn how to freedive safely and proficiently.

  • Join our Learn to Freedive course: https://www.deepsouthfreediving.com.au/level-1-freediver-1

  • This is a free, casual meet-up, not a formal course, so please ensure you’re comfortable to look after yourself and always buddy up (you can find a buddy during the dive briefing if you come alone).

  • Conditions may change - check the discussion tab on the Facebook event for weather/location updates

  • We highly encourage car pooling to these events so we don't over crowd areas. Keep your eye on the Facebook discussion for a car pooling thread.
