Seek a newer world as an Underwater Ocean Adventurer. Stride towards weekend crusades, confidently diving into outdoor adventures. Join the ultimate course to adventure under the ocean using skindiving & freediving techniques. Gippsland VIC

Get set to realise your ambition, your goal, your dream, to explore under the ocean freely. All you need is your mask, snorkel, wetsuit and fins.

The greatest ocean explorers, the wreck divers, treasure hunters, oceanographers, biologists, cave divers and underwater photographers and videographers, it can all begin so easily.

Taking a breath, you duckdive and slip under the surface, beginning your outdoor adventure into bliss.

I invite you to join me on this fun and progressive course to become an underwater ocean explorer, just like heroes and ambassadors Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Sylvia Earle, James Cameron, Richard Harris and Michael Lombardi.

Together we will shape and finesse your snorkelling and skindiving skills for greater control and ease of movement underwater.

We’ll develop your relaxation, mind management and freedive breathing methods to enhance your breathhold and keep you safe.

Together we’ll craft your personal underwater journey to give you the courage and poise to chase your favourite crusades.
