What is freediving?

Imagine hanging, suspended and weightless, surrounded by blue water and fish, listening to the sound of whales. You can forget about gravity and about the noise of the world. You only have a moment here, and you’re going to relax into it and enjoy it. Welcome to freediving.


The concept of freediving is super simple. If you hold your breath and dive down under the water, you’re freediving. No tanks, no bottles, no tricks. Just one, big breath.


Some people think of freediving as an extreme, dangerous sport. It’s true that freedivers have pushed the limits of what we know about the human body. But, for the majority of freedivers, the sport is a safe, calm, empowering and spontaneous way to explore the world, and themselves. Read more about the life changing benefits of freediving in our Sydney Morning Herald Feature, and our blog.

“Immersia isn’t just offering dive courses but a community of like minded divers to meet & dive together through social dives & trips/experiences away both locally & overseas. I really like the personal touch the business offers & you’ll never feel Iike a number but rather a member of a community (maybe a tribe). Highly recommend Immersia.”

About Our Founder

Hi, I’m Bella - founder of Immersia Freediving and Master Freediving Instructor.
Until 2017, I was scared of the ocean, leading a high-stress corporate, urban lifestyle. Then I found freediving.

Discovering freediving was, literally, the most life-changing discovery I ever made. Freediving made me feel confident and powerful in the water. Fear of the ocean became concern for the ocean and the fragility of our watery ecosystems. Most of all, I learned how to listen to my body and find quiet in my mind.

MY CREDENTIALS:

  • PADI Master Freediving Instructor

  • Molchanovs W2I Freediving Instructor

  • Emergency First Response Instructor

  • PADI Elite Instructor Award Winner 2021, 2022, 2023

  • Over 700 students taught

  • Creator of Immersia Freediving Safety Standards. We are currently the only freediving school in Australia operating under safety standards above and beyond the standards enforced by our certification body.
