25.01.2022 Well done to todays group from Rocky Point Aquaculture who all did very well on their freediver safety course. Congratulations to Brad, Johann, Max & Jesse (also well done Max for a breath hold of 4:10). From Clinton and Cristy, Thank you to all the staff at Rocky Point Aquaculture for their keen interest in breath hold safety for their divers.

09.01.2022 Want to see what pool-based Free Immersion training can look like? This is just one of the many training methods you might see during High Performance Coaching program (HPC Term 3). See Matt Louden getting comp. ready and in his new Epsealon Abyss comp. suit. (We have all sizes in stock in male and female. We believe these to be one of the best non-hooded freediving suits on the market today.) Nice filming by Grant Faber

08.01.2022 Its shaping up to be a lovely morning Depth 46m for our D E E P D I V E D A Y divers plus Ocean Freedivers currently on course... enjoy today everyone - wherever youre freediving in the world.

Congratulations and thank you for joining us in the #deepblue Casey Stephens, Michael Cooke, Yasmin Miller, Louis Ilton and for theory and pool Manny Ibrahim & Ebony Lee. Special thanks and welcome to Rebecca Lo AIDA Instructor who joined us for teaching pool requireme...nts. Its been excellent #offshoregoldcoast this freedive season but what weve been most pleased with is the ever growing mind-shift in the general communitys attitude to how they approach freediving - they want be safer divers for themselves and the people who they dive with. There is no doubt about it and the team at #FreedivingGoldCoast has been held steadfast to this belief since our inception ... Certified freedivers are safer freedivers. #wearegoldcoast #wearefreedivinggoldcoast #queensland #freediver #freediving #destinationgoldcoast #ocean #blue #breathhold #dive #offshoregoldcoast #safetyfirst See more

01.01.2022 Beautiful morning for a great PT session outdoors with the lovely & talented Mikaela. Really looking forward to next session Manikin Steve is working hard, as always, and wondering what hes going to be doing over this long weekend with a 50km radius from home to play in.

01.01.2022 Does prone positioning in breathing increase oxygenation? Would this technique help freedivers during their preparation phase? Prone positioned breathing is being recommended in the United States for people with COVID-19. It seems that this method opens up the lungs more effectively than lying on your back and hence increases blood oxygenation. ... https://www.google.com.au//coronavir/article241995471.html
