I recently completed the beginners Freediving course with Tania from Blueblack Freediving and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Tania was outstanding — communication was clear and encouraging from start to finish, which made learning new skills feel easy and enjoyable. Safety was clearly the top priority throughout the entire course. Every step was explained carefully, and the instruction was structured and easy to follow, which really built confidence in the water. If you're thinking about learning to freedive, I highly recommend Tania and BlueBack Freediving. Karen, Margaret River
Just finished the intro freediving course and just wow! There was so much thought and consideration that went into creating this course. Tania is thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and makes such a safe learning environment and is wonderful for teaching the basics and beyond. There was not a moment I felt unsafe over the three days, and it really made such a wonderful first impression for a beginner. Would recommend to anyone who is keen to start the process but perhaps isn't necessarily confident or sure of themselves.
I did the Level 1 Freediving course with Blueback and loved the balance of theory, breathwork and time spent in the water. Tania is an amazing instructor — incredibly knowledgeable, calm, humble and grounded. Throughout the course, she prioritised safety, regularly checked in with students and was always supportive and encouraging (but never pushy). I’ve come away with a new appreciation for the mind–body connection required for freediving and highly recommend Blueback to anyone wanting to safely explore their breath and the ocean in a supportive environment.
I recently completed the weekend intensive freediving course and it was an absolutely incredible experience! The instructors were exceptionally encouraging and created a wonderfully positive and supportive learning environment. I felt safe and motivated throughout the entire course. The depth of knowledge shared was impressive, and the information was presented in a clear and easily digestible way. One of the best aspects is the opportunity to continue practicing the skills with the community after the course is over. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in freediving!
I can't stop raving about this course!! I did the 2 day basic but will continue to level 1 soon. A year ago I was too unsure of the ocean to snorkel without getting into a panic but under Tania's guidance I was diving to 4m deep and holding my breath for 2 minutes on the 2nd day. I feel so excited to get into the ocean this summer! The course is about SO much more than depth freediving and I recommend it to any ocean lover, or ocean fearer :)
