Freediving Gold Coast

Become a certified freediver under SSI, Molchanovs, or PADI, in the beautiful Gold Coast and get a chance to freedive and explore the world famous Wonder Reef.

Whether you are a seasoned spearfisher looking to refine your technique, learn safer breath-hold practices and buddying skills — or you are completely new to freediving — an OceanSense Freediving Course is your ideal first (or next) step into the world of underwater exploration.

Led by certified professionals, our 1 or 2-day freediving courses will teach you how to safely hold your breath, dive efficiently, and explore the open ocean on a single breath. You’ll gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to unlock your body’s full potential underwater.

Our Freediving Gold Coast day trips are great for easy access to deep blue water just a 15 minute boat ride from the Runaway Bay marina. It is the perfect location for depth training as well as exploration diving. With the locals’ favourite Wonder Reef (YES, we are the only freediving school allowed to freedive the Wonder Reef) and the Scottish Prince Wreck as well as the beautiful Cook Island packed with turtles close by, we have a variety of great freediving sites to choose from based on the conditions of the day. 

Our Freediving Gold Coast sessions are usually run in two parts. Firstly a line training session in the blue ocean to excel your skills as a freediver. This is followed by a recreational exploration dive (diving conditions dependant) or a second line training session to make this trip the ultimate Freediving Gold Coast experience. 

Unless you have booked an specific coaching session, as a certified freediver you will be diving with other certified freedivers, and eventhough we will try our best to bring a master freediver to help running your buoy, they might not always be available, so  you need to be confident diving with other fellow certified freedivers. There will be instructors running courses in the buoys next to you, but this is ultimately an autonomous freediving line session.

Depth will always be weather dependent, but if you have any questions, please contact us and we will happily help you.

Please note: Unless you are coming out to complete your course, you must be a certified Freediver to join this trip.
