Welcome to Wonderland!

Freediving and Sailing on the Great Barrier Reef!

Join us for what is going to be an epic experience in one of the best diving locations in the world.

 

This thrilling seafaring experience is miles away from civilization -- 35 nautical miles to be exact!

You won't get any phone signal out there but you will get a picturesque view of the Whitsundays turquoise water lagoons and pristine reef. Past the Whitsundays Islands is the Great Barrier Reef in all its glory and that’s where we will be diving! The visibility will be stunning, the reef will be alive and we get protected diving conditions inside atolls in the reef.

We have the ease and convenience of diving right off the yacht. You can pop in for a dive and pop out for a meal in seconds. Our theory as well will take place right on the deck of the yacht and we could not think of a better classroom!

 

Combining diving and freediving theory with a beautiful reef and marine environment - what could be better?

 

We will be sailing with ProSail on their largest yacht, Condor! This ex-racing maxi yacht is now a live-aboard and gives us an outstanding opportunity to explore and stay in the incredible Whitsunday Islands. It's an unbeatable way to travel!

Our home for 4 days!

Accommodation is in dormitory-style bunks with 8 single beds and 11 double beds… it’s not a luxury hotel but it is comfortable and unique!

Your Wave level will be completed around the islands, with with fun dives to the Outer Great Barrier Reef if weather permits.

Learn, train, sail and explore with us!

FAQs
