CLIENT

REVIEWS

Clients are delighted not only by the professionalism of the course delivery, but also by how broadly and extensively they develop over the duration of the programme
Thanks
Marlon is a great instructor. It is pretty interesting that the course is based more in trying to understand what you feel during apnea than in reaching a time. This makes you feel a lot more comfortable with the training and the experience.
Arlen D

I’m an experienced instructor myself…but a novice freediver. Marlon is a very experienced freediver, but more importantly a very good teacher, the two don’t always go together, but in Marlon’s case they certainly do. He’s knowledgeable, patient and walks a good line between fun and serious learning. If you are interested in learning to freedive in Melbourne, do not pass Go. Go straight to Marlon!
Dean Laffan

Director, Red Bull

As an instructor myself (and former student of Marlon’s) I also recommend Marlon Quinn! Teaches far more than just by the book. Of all the instructors I’ve met he’s definitely the best.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS?
Why should I choose this course?
You might find courses at a lower price, or different freediving brands / education systems, or easier courses, but this is a high value course delivered by someone who has travelled the world to learn the art of freediving with the best of the best, World and National Champions. Umberto Pelizzari (Italy), Stavros Kastrinakis (Greece), Miguel Lozano (Spain), Alejandro Lemus (Mexico) to name a few.

You’re learning with a three time adventure tourism award winner.

And the small group and private training is tailored, just for you! This means more attention for you to develop with a personalised approach and feedback available than other courses that have bigger or mixed groups.

Begin on a solid foundation with an instructor who has 10+ years full-time experience in teaching snorkelling, freediving and breathwork who can share the tips, tricks and secrets that only come from sharing time with more than 1000 developing freedivers.

If you’re looking to tick the box and just get the certification, or focused solely on depth or time goals, then this is probably not the course for you.

If you’re serious about learning high quality skills and techniques, and being safe, whilst also enjoying a fun and professional environment, then choose this course.

The total duration depends on how long you may explore the PADI Freediver elearning materials.

JOIN ME FREEDIVING WITH

Southern Bluefin Tuna

One of those extraordinary experiences you can’t expect to just head out into the ocean and do anytime. It has to be the right season and the right sea conditions. You’ve got to know how to locate the tuna, and then make sure they’re not spooked so that you can dive down with them.  Bass Strait is wild territory to freedive, and I reckon it’s the best freediving in the world for marine life interactions.
