BLUEBACK FREEDIVING & YOGA

A 10-week, coach-led recreational freedive training program (2-hour sessions) run on Mondays or Thursdays, capped at ~16 freedivers per season.

It’s built around three priorities: Safety, Enjoyment, Goals.

New students can book casual sessions, if there's availability. We're also happy to build shorter pool squad training programs for those that can't attend every session of the season. We know dedication builds confidence and results, so we recommend the 10-week season pass above all else to improve your freediving skills and capacity..

Safety-trained freedivers who are already certified or currently completing Blueback Level 1 (including rescue practices). The Squad refreshes and develops skills; it’s not where core safety is first taught.

Pre-season booking is encouraged so coaches can customize your program.

Places are limited; if maximum numbers are met, you won't be able to book onto a sold-out squad session, however we can place you on a waitlist for last minute cancellations. If minimum numbers aren’t met, a squad may not proceed (you’ll be notified the week before).

• 10-Week Season: $550 (20 hrs / 10 x 2-hr sessions, pool entry included)

• 10-Class Pass: $600 (20 hrs / 10 x 2-hr sessions, pool entry included, 1-year validity)

• Casual (pre-book ≥7 days): $65 per 2-hr session

• Late casual (<7 days): $70 per 2-hr session

Check the website calendar, our Instagram highlight tab "Squad" (@Blueback.Freediving.Yoga) or our Facebook page for current season dates.

Coach-supervised static and dynamic apnea plus supportive yoga elements (breathwork, stretching, mindful relaxation) to improve relaxation, technique, CO₂ tolerance, efficiency and self-awareness.

No. The Squad is for safe, enjoyable recreational progression—not max attempts or competition prep. Competitive training requires dedicated 1:1 sessions with medical O₂ and an oxygen-resus-trained professional dedicated to one athlete (not a squad full of freedivers).

Stick to your customized program, no unscheduled apneas, and give your buddy full attention. Don’t push limits—SWBO/LMC risks are taken very seriously by both Blueback and the pool.

Arrive well-rested and hydrated, ideally with an empty stomach. No alcohol/intoxicants in your system. Tell coaches about medications or injuries, and avoid mucous-producing foods the day before (e.g., dairy, gluten).

Wetsuit (5 mm recommended for pool if you feel the cold), plastic-coated lead weights on a quick-release belt (or neck weight), fins and socks, low-volume mask & snorkel (or mini-mask + nose clip), towel/yoga mat, water, and a gear bag/bucket.

Coated weights/neck weights can be supplied or ordered.

Please choose dates carefully—no cancellations or refunds once fees are paid.

If you’re running late or can’t attend, text Tania (0439 770 038) ASAP so the safety-buddy system remains intact.
