Cleaning up the general rubbish & weapons of mass sea-life destruction left by our local illegal fishermen/poachers…
Another dive another bunch of rubbish - even a knife!
.
There’s got to be a better solution for fishermen to just leave their snagged lines, sinkers, hooks & lures?
,
Is it possible to create biodegradable tackle?
.
Yesterday we even had to set angle line that was choking a beautiful crab saving its life.
.
But none of this stopped us blissing out with the catfish love puddle!

UAA will take you from a complete beginner to being able to Freedive 10 to 16 metres deep, swim at least 25 metres underwater, and hold your breath at least 90 seconds – in just 2 evenings and 1 day!
We run the course over 2 evenings at the pool to allow time to resolve any equipment issues as well as ensure there are no issues with your equalisation. Equalisation (EQ) is the most frequent limiting factor when we go out and do depth so we want to give you the best chance of success and comfort.
Over the 2 evenings, we have a short theory recap session where we cover the effect of being underwater on you the Freediver, discuss safety, and learn effective relaxation and breathing techniques to allow you to dive safely and efficiently.
As a qualified Yoga Teacher we are able to take you through various breathing exercises (Pranyama) teach evening to help you prepare your mind and body as well as thoroughly relax, teaching you to connect your mind and body and the correct breathing for Freediving. We then jump into the pool (heated!) to practice static and dynamic breath-hold in confined water, along with practicing safety techniques specific to Freediving.
That weekend sees us board the dive boat and head out to open water and practice various depth disciplines of Freediving, learning to adjust our bodies and minds, and equalize while descending to a maximum depth of 16 metres. We practice “Constant Weight” and “Free Immersion” dives and have the opportunity to also try “Variable Weight” and “Constant Weight No Fins” depending on the group and the conditions, while also learning and practicing buddy and safety techniques.
