What is freediving?

Imagine hanging, suspended and weightless, surrounded by blue water and fish, listening to the sound of whales. You can forget about gravity and about the noise of the world. You only have a moment here, and you’re going to relax into it and enjoy it. Welcome to freediving.


The concept of freediving is super simple. If you hold your breath and dive down under the water, you’re freediving. No tanks, no bottles, no tricks. Just one, big breath.


Some people think of freediving as an extreme, dangerous sport. It’s true that freedivers have pushed the limits of what we know about the human body. But, for the majority of freedivers, the sport is a safe, calm, empowering and spontaneous way to explore the world, and themselves. Read more about the life changing benefits of freediving in our Sydney Morning Herald Feature, and our blog.

“Immersia isn’t just offering dive courses but a community of like minded divers to meet & dive together through social dives & trips/experiences away both locally & overseas. I really like the personal touch the business offers & you’ll never feel Iike a number but rather a member of a community (maybe a tribe). Highly recommend Immersia.”

About Bella

Hi, I’m Bella - founder of Immersia Freediving and PADI Advanced Freediving Instructor.
Until 2017, I was scared of the ocean, leading a high-stress corporate, urban lifestyle. Then I found freediving.

Discovering freediving was, literally, the most life-changing discovery I ever made. Freediving made me feel confident and powerful in the water. Fear of the ocean became concern for the ocean and the fragility of our watery ecosystems. Most of all, I learned how to listen to my body and find quiet in my mind.

It wasn’t an easy journey. I was usually the silent struggler amongst experienced spearfishers. Nothing came naturally to me, but I went to work. In 2020, I took a leap of faith. I stepped away from my career to build Immersia Freediving; a freediving school with a human touch, place where real beginners could discover the incredible world of freediving in a truly no-pressure, supportive environment. I created the core values of Immersia, a framework that all of our team are committed to. It’s been a dream to watch our students build these epic skills that help them in their day-to-day life, as well as when they travel and explore the ocean.
