Prepare for the ultimate freediving experience designed for surfers, boogie boarders, bodysurfers and surf lifesavers – adopt new breathing and relaxation skills you can use in tough surf conditions for more confidence.
Reduce your fears of wave hold downs and use your freediving skills to enjoy better days surfing in more waves.
Course Location: Mornington Peninsula, VIC
Ideal for all keen surfers to learn about how to be more comfortable in challenging surf conditions and find peace in stressful underwater situations.
You don’t need any certifications or previous dive or surf experience to join the course, but you must know how to swim.
This entry level course is suitable for you if you seek to know yourself better in the water environment, because you don’t want to suffer in wave hold downs, and really want to have the feeling of true confidence.
Through healthy, supportive and stress-free development in freediving, and surf hold down training, set yourself free from the things holding you back and become happy and confident surfing the waves in the sea, and life.
Developing the skills and knowledge over the two days moves you towards achieving the PADI Basic Freediver certification (Day 1) available upon successful completion of the course.
*For those who have already completed a PADI Basic Freediver certification or a recognised equivalent level one freediver, you can join the Better Breathhold for Surf Wave Hold Downs Masterclass course on its own, which you may book separately.
LEARN TO LET GO OF FEAR IN THE SURF & IMPROVE CONFIDENCE
Marlon Quinn
PADI Freedive & Mermaid Instructor Trainer
He himself was not a natural freediver. Having feinted at the pool from cold as a young child.
As an adult though, he at last found the sea, only to encounter a stingray head-on and retreat with fright. This was the catalyst though, to learn with World Champion freedivers across the globe, the modern gods of the sea, where he found beauty and peace within himself, on one breath, freediving deep into the blue sea.
Learn the art of freediving with Marlon and find your own sea within.
“As an instructor myself 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.” – 2 March 2021

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
It’s so exciting to provide this opportunity to combine the beauty of freediving and surf hold down training in two days of course delivery and training, it’s taken a lot of energy, effort and organisation to be in a position to offer this unique program. The course has very limited places and it’s important that participants are committed to the experience.
Bookings are absolutely non refundable. This is because the courses are highly time intensive to create and deliver and with such small class sizes, and a variety of overheads to bring it together, even the slightest change to participant numbers has a big flow on effect. To avoid anyone’s disappointment, there are no conditions under which a refund will be provided, only if the course is cancelled by us for unforeseen reasons. It is highly recommended that you purchase travel or dive trip insurance to cover yourself in case of an unforeseen need to cancel.
Please review the PADI Divers Medical Questionnaire and Medical Statement (Link Here) medical form before booking to determine whether you may attend. A refund is unavailable if you do not pass your medical, so please take those important steps before you book.
Bookings close 7-days in advance of the course, we recommend booking as early as possible to ensure your place.
