The best freediving course in Sydney; The best freediving course in Melbourne; The best freediving course in Perth; The best freediving course in Brisbane; that’s what we’re about.


We don't believe that knowledge of the ocean is a substitute for experience in the ocean; which is why our instructors are hand selected from the most experienced pool of tried and tested watermen available (pun well and truly intended). There is no shortcut to becoming an Underwater Academy instructor, because we know that the personal experiences and lessons that each instructor has, makes a invaluable contribution to their teaching prowess.

Lucas Handley has extensive experience in the Freediving, Spearfishing and Underwater Photography worlds. Appearing in internationally acclaimed ocean documentaries, and working for such companies as Discovery Channel, National Geographic and the BBC, his ocean experience is unparalleled. Lucas is the only AIDA International instructor trainer in Australia. He teaches breathology and personal development courses; deep spearfishing and freediving instruction to -40m and beyond. With over twenty years spearfishing experience and 15 years in the guiding world, his personal interest in human physiology and optimisation have led him into developing training programs for world champion athletes and corporate CEO’s alike.

Jarred began freediving over four years ago, and this passion turned into an obsession. After a year and a half of solid training, he was accredited as an AIDA Instructor, and now is our regular task master for squad training. An engineer by trade, he contributed to his AIDA Instructors program with a research assignment calculating theoretical hydrodynamics, thrust and drag on the human body. An expert in streamlining, his enthusiasm as well as his calm and supportive nature make for the perfect instructor.


Jarrod’s passion for the ocean extends back to some of his earliest memories fishing and collecting crabs with his father and grandfather. Jarrod developed an interest for being underwater when he was introduced to spearfishing in Byron Bay back in 2007. In the years since he has explored many reefs and coastlines developing his skills in foraging and spearfishing for sustenance and pleasure. After suffering a pinched nerve in his shoulder in 2015, he was limited in the types of exercise he could do. The only place it felt better was in the water where the force of gravity would ease. So he began training regularly with the Melbourne Freedivers. He has since trained with Viktor Reshetniak at Freedive Gili, Adam Stern and Oli Christen at Freedive Flow, where he recently completed his instructors course. Jarrod loves depth but has spent a lot of time in recent years exploring his breath hold abilities whilst training and competing in the pool disciplines.

Alan’s dedication to training has been unparalleled and his cross training knowledge is just as impressive. With a genuine enthusiasm to help others succeed, Alan always puts in the extra effort to make students feel comfortable. Speaking fluent Chinese, he is an invaluable asset when welcoming travellers to Australias oceans.

Sam has lived and breathed the spearfishing world for ten years. Managing the Adreno store in Sydney, his knowledge of freediving gear, spearfishing set-up and techniques for successful underwater hunting is unparalleled. Capable and experienced in all environments, sam is the go to guy for spearfishing education. Capable of reaching depths of 30m, equipment in hand, he is an asset to our spearfishing courses and continual promotion of spearfishing safety.


Easily the most relaxed trainer we have, his easy going demeanour will have you feeling comfortable and relaxed while you explore your limits. While still young, Brayden has dedicated himself to training and deeper Freediving and has spent the last two years training in the pool and assisting our master instructor in Sydney. Having recently re-located to Perth, he’s enjoying building the community of freedivers there, and will be a major asset to our west coast division.
