  • Overview

    Join us on a full-day adventure tour to experience the wonders of the Atherton Tablelands Rainforest like never before. The tour begins with a pick-up in the Cairns CBD area or a meet-up at the Scubabo dive center at 7 am. From there, we'll take a scenic drive to the Lake Barrine Tea House, where we'll indulge in delicious morning tea and scones while learning the basics of freediving in a morning theory lesson.

    After the lesson, we'll head to the Lake Barrine National Park, where we'll start with a rejuvenating stretching and breathing session on the grass to prepare our bodies and minds for the day ahead. The session will help us develop the necessary skills to improve our freediving technique and increase our breath-hold time.

    We'll then continue with a static breath-hold workshop, where you'll learn various techniques to increase your breath-hold time and feel more confident in the water. You'll also have the opportunity to put your new skills into practice with a freediving session later in the day.

    Next, we'll embark on a guided boat tour of Lake Barrine, where you'll have the chance to explore the stunning ecosystem and learn about the natural flora and fauna that inhabit it. Our knowledgeable guide will offer insights into the wonders of the rainforest, providing a deeper appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

  • What's included?
    • This day experience will also give you the "SSI Try Freedive" certification! 
    • You can interact with marine life in its natural setting, marine life tends to get closer to free divers than scuba divers because there aren’t any loud noisy bubbles.
    • Freediving is almost like a form of meditation, you need to enter a relaxed state of mind and body. Many people enjoy the mental relaxation of freediving
    • Challenging opportunity to push your mental and physical limits, try something new, and feel the triumph of setting and achieving new goals

    Sara was the most incredible photographer for my 2 day trip on the reef and captured stunning pictures of my dives with fantastic angles and was super helpful transferring the pictures she took and the pictures I took on the GoPro I rented to my phone using a usc memory stick to preserve the quality.

    The best underwater photographers on the reef! If you’re looking to get some truly epic, professional photos of your trip, definitely book to see the reef with one of the boats with Scubabo photographers! (Reef Encounter or Reef Experience) Kozel took incredible photos of our group and the reef, and edited them and we had them on our iPhones before departing the boat!

    Sofia and Lucia were amazing photographers! All of our pictures came out great, and the attention to detail in their pictures of the reef was absolutely stunning! Can’t wait to show all of them off with our friends and family back home. 5 stars ladies, well done!!

    Great Course, Shiv was an excellent teacher, patient and kind. He really celebrated your wins however small and was super knowledgeable. Morning stretch was not included/run through but all other course inclusions for Level 1 was met. Great location and beautiful drive. Flexible with pick up and drop off. Overall well run and I got a lot out of it.

    • Freediving is when you hold your breath and dive down below the surface of the water without using any breathing apparatus underwater. 
    • You’ll need a mask, snorkel, fins, weight belt, and depending on the temperature of the water you are diving in, you may need a wetsuit.
    • Ideally you should freedive on an empty stomach, or eat a light healthy snack before freediving. Eat mostly fruits and vegetables; avoid dairy, caffeine, and anything that will take a long time to digest. 
    • If you have any issues with your ears or sinuses you might not be able to equalise properly. If you have a cold or any congestion, you should not freedive. If you have any issues with fainting, or seizures, you should get a medical check before freediving.
    • If you are pregnant you should consult a doctor before freediving, and you should not push your limits.

    Please bring:

     

    • Mask, Snorkel, Fins, Wetsuit, Water bottle
    • Light healthy snack such as fruit, or a green smoothie
