FOR FLUID MOVEMENT CLUB MEMBERS ONLY

Join an extended 3-hour freedive adventure for experienced qualified freedivers (Level 2 - PADI Advanced Freediver or equivalent) on the stunning Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.

●  FREEDIVING COACHING AVAILABLE - Choose the Coaching Option during check-out and receive coaching and feedback during the adventure from the Freediver Instructor (NB: May not be available all trips)

In the right conditions the tour will extend into Bass Strait and seek out formidable locations along the ocean coast (4-15m depth), on occasion searching for wrecks such as the J4 Submarine (-26m) and HMAS Canberra (-30m), as well as touring reef systems and significant underwater and coastal features.

Strong, experienced and adaptable freedivers will revel in these adventures as it hones your all-rounder status as an apneist.

Freediving in buddy pairs, you will freedive safely drawing upon your certification training. The experienced Captain will ensure the adventure continues throughout the dive.

The dive departs from the Sorrento Boat Ramp Jetty in Sorrento, original land of the Boonwurrung people, site of the first European Settlement in 1803, and passes beneath the up to 20-million year old unique calcarenite cliffs of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. Beneath the water lay the vast chain of the Great Southern Reef and its unusual yet often majestic marine life.

Extending around Australia’s southern coastline is a series of reefs holding some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet. The Great Southern Reef features extensive kelp seaweed forests that support many marine species that are not found anywhere else on Earth. Home to a variety of marine life including fur seals, zebra fish, little penguins, bottlenose dolphins, rays, giant cuttlefish, spider crabs, sponges, kelp and seadragons. 

Should the tour be unable to enter Bass Strait due to sea conditions, the tour will revert to a Bay tour, visiting sites ranging from Lonsdale Reef, Pope’s Eye Marine Park, Chinaman’s Hat, South Channel Fort or Point Nepean Bay. Dives will be tailored to experience the best conditions and sites on the day. 

You and your friendly buddies will enjoy exploring the incredible diversity and magic of our mysterious underwater world.
