One of the most important reasons to take a freedi One of the most important reasons to take a freediving course (other than the fact it looks siiiick) is so you learn how to keep your buddies safe in the water. Here’s our student @gotbryn, learning how to provide safety and coaching during a breath-hold.

You should never hold your breath in water unless you’re with a trained buddy. Sounds like a good excuse to drag your best mate along to a freediving course....

The highlight of December, before injuries and out The highlight of December, before injuries and outbreaks kicked in and flipped Christmas upside down. 
This was 2 weeks of pure diving and teaching a bunch of incredible students in the sickest dive spot in all of Australia. 

P.s. yes it was really cold but it felt amazing.

Thank you @adamfreediver for filming and sharing this video, for an amazing couple of weeks, and also for all the coaching, soundboarding  and rescues over the past year (and for the content obvs).
Happy New Year everyone! May 2021 be the year you Happy New Year everyone!

May 2021 be the year you finally get your ass into freediving 🄰🄰🄰

Things have been so busy I haven’t really had a chance to reflect on 2020 yet - I need a big breath holding session to work through that. However, I will take a second to say how stoked I am that Immersia took form this year, and that it’s had such a great reception.
A huge huge huge soft warm thank you to all of my friends, family, coaches and especially customers who have supported this business and are helping me turn my dreams into reality. Love you.

And here is an amazing photo of the lovely @amusingalias by my favourite creature @ewandonnachie_film 

This was undoubtedly the dive site of the year.

Bondi Babes Had such an amazing time fun with th Bondi Babes 

Had such an amazing time fun with these amazing women diving during a Certified Freediver course. I loved hearing the stories that brought all these women to the water, and watching them discover all these crazy things that their bodies and minds can do.

Thanks @ewandonnachie_film  for come along to take some photos during this fun-dive.

PS don’t forget that gift vouchers are available! Get your friends involved and come along to learn freediving in the new year 🄰

One of the things I love about teaching freediving is that there is NO way to tell, just by looking at someone, how ā€˜well’ they will adjust to the different demands of freediving. This is not a sport about pure athletic fitness, or about experience in the water. It’s a sport that forces you inside your head and makes you think about strength in a new way. 

It’s also a weird weird activity, made up of a lot of different skills. It’s normal for everyone to find that they’re really strong in one area, and a bit more challenged in another.

What I’m actually saying is that even YOUUUU can be amazing at freediving. You should come and join a course and discover something about yourself ā˜ŗļø

Sealing’ good Summer is here! It might mean sea Sealing’ good

Summer is here! It might mean seal season is over, but no-wetsuit-diving weather is beginning and I can’t wait to get my bare belly into that ocean šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Summer also means holiday time, and you can now buy gift vouchers for Immersia freediving experiences and freediving courses. 

You don’t need any freediving experience to enrol in a course. It’s totally beginner friendly. But, if you’re still a bit unsure, come and join us for a 1 day into course. We’ll focus on building ocean confidence, breath-holding and mental relaxation techniques.

New dates are going live soon for freediving courses and I have a couple of spots left over Christmas. Hit us up with questions!

It’s the first day of Christmas month 🄰🄰🄰

This time last year we were packing a trip to the Arctic. This year we are packing for a 2 week diving trip to South Aus, where I’m teaching amongst a bunch of amazing instructors for @adamfreediver’s Deep Weekend.

If you have a loved one who is in need of an upgrade this year, grab them a voucher for a freediving experience or course! Literally everyone looks cooler freediving. But, more importantly, freediving is an incredible way to learn about your body and breath, and build some techniques that will help you feel confident in the water, and help you manage daily stress.

We are offering vouchers for:
-1-day ā€˜Experience Freediving’ intro
-2 day PADI Freediver Certification

Vouchers can be redeemed within 12 months

Let us know if you have questions

Such an amazing few days with the best students. T Such an amazing few days with the best students. They have been overcoming untold experiences and self-beliefs to smash their goals and discover a brand new side of themselves.

This is one of our beginner freediving students, @emcrook . It’s unbelievable  that she is completely new to freediving; she was a total badass in the water and threw herself into everything.

Last weekend I taught a private freediving course Last weekend I taught a private freediving course for four guys as a secret birthday present for their friend. 

It was so sick getting to know @willjarvo @samuelscenes @ant_stead and Alex the merman, and watching them absolutely smash their breath-holds and dives. 

Congratulations guys! Thanks so much for joining me under the water. And also thanks to the photographer of the day, @ewandonnachie_film for choreographing and getting this photo šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
