NO FINS, NO WORRIES
World's First Comprehensive 12-Week Online Course for Freedivers on Dynamic No Fins (DNF)
The scuba diver dives to look around. The freediver dives to look inside.

OFFICIAL GUINNESS WR
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! I’m Michaela
Freediving coach, athlete, judge and a Guinness WR Holder.
At the heart of my mission is a deep passion for freediving and a commitment to helping you unlock your potential in the water. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced freediver, I am here to guide you on your journey to mastery.
Freediving isn’t just a sport—it’s a transformative experience and a way of life. I've been freediving for over 16 years and for over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of DNF (Dynamic No Fins), a discipline that strips freediving down to its purest form: no fins, just your body, your mind and technique. After years of training and thousands of laps, I achieved a Guinness World Record—completing 101 x 25m DNF laps in one hour.
Now, I’m here to share that knowledge with you. Through personalised coaching, immersive trips, hands-on workshops, and a comprehensive online courses, I’ll teach you how to move with power, precision, and grace in the water.
Whether you want to learn new skills, push your limits, or simply explore the beauty of freediving, this is your space to grow, thrive, and dive deeper. Let’s begin your journey today.

WHY INVEST IN A COACH?
Setting and reaching your goals can be challenging. But you don’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 can’t separate one from the other. Together, let's make your dreams a reality!

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
It’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
I’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! :)
