FREEDIVE WITH SEALS IN NAROOMA
ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S BEST WILDLIFE EXPERIENCES!
Freedive with seals at Montague Island, NSW.
Freediving is the best way to interact with these friendly fur seals, and all freediving/snorkelling levels are welcome.
We spend 2 half days of freediving with the seals. When we’re not with the seals, we’re running workshops, playing group games and enjoying the local area.
Have you ever dreamed of freediving or snorkelling alongside playful marine creatures in their natural habitat?
Get ready to be charmed by the Australian Fur Seals as you splash, spin, and even backflip underwater. As curious and fun-loving as they come, these seals might just mimic your moves, play a cheeky game of 'Chicken', or even give your fins a playful nibble.
