Take a deep breath and dive into Worldā€™s 1st comprehensive 10-Week Masterclass on DNF (Dynamic No Fins) - NO FINS, NO WORRIES
The scuba diver dives to look around. The freediver dives to look inside.

On the 17th November 2023, I managed to do something extraordinary - I swam 101 x 25m laps using DNF (Dynamic No Fins aka underwater breaststroke) technique in under 1 hour.
I held my breath for over 42 minutes!
Yes, it is possible!
Hi! Iā€™m Michaela
Freediving coach, athlete and a judge
I strive to be a champion in all aspects of my life.
I absolutely love freediving. Flying effortlessly through the water while holding my breath is my superpower.
I have been freediving for 15Ā years. My husband and I organised the very first freediving competition in Australia in 2010. Since then I have competed, coached and led courses for over 500 students all around the country.
Iā€™m excited to share my skills and experience with you through this online platform.
I believe that freediving is a wonderful tool for reaching not only depths of the ocean but also depths of your soul and well-being.

WHY INVEST IN A COACH?
Setting and reaching your goals can be challenging. But you donā€™t have to do it on your own.
You may have been training for several years but if the approach to training is not the right one for you or you keep making the same technical mistakes, you will never reach your potential.
What you do on land, what goes through your mind, your personal life and struggles all have an impact. You canā€™t separate one from the other.

FREEDIVING WITH MY KIDS
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
I Had an awesome day in Adelaide, amazing instructor, learnt heaps about breath holding techniques and surf survival skills, highly recommend this to anyone who loves the ocean. Thanks so much, Michaela, so glad I came!
David Green
I am so glad to have taken this course with my son because I know he and I will be equipped with this knowledge of safe and disciplined freediving.
As a GP, I know her teaching of physiology and emergencies to be spot on. If you want to freedive well and safely, I highly recommend you take this course and practice, practice practice!
Marie Shieh
Loved doing the course with Micheala, she is extremely professional, patient and approachable! What an asset she is to Australian Freediving!
Irene Lowrencev
I have just done a freediving Stage A course with Michaela and it was an amazing experience! She is passionate and very considerate to everyone's needs so despite the tricky weather we have had a great time.
Petr Lan
Itā€™s amazing how much you can get out of a one day course! Definitely will be lots more confident and calm during big hold downs from now on
Iā€™d strongly recommend it for surfers of all levels who want the confidence and ability to push themselves in bigger waves. Plus it was a really fun day.
Tim Dickson, Manager - Slimes Boardstore
The Surf Survival course was the perfect introduction to understanding the power of breathing, getting the most out of every breath and staying calm for long periods under the water. It is a breath of fresh air for emerging ocean swimmers looking for real usable tips to reduce anxiety in the surf and develop skills to be more efficient under the water.
Andre Slade, Owner Ocean Fit
I didn't have much to say about her perfect technique and steely determination in the training tables!
William Trubridge
That was an amazing session this morning! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge, and I know this partnership will not only lead to increased swimming performance, but also to improved physical and mental health benefits for my team. You're amazing! :)
