Experience Counts
Jed and his team has many years of experience in both teaching and understanding freediving. Our instructors understand the intricacy of freediving while also holding strong athletic knowledge of the sport. This combination not only adds depth to our teaching but also inspires confidence and trust in our methods.

Bespoke Approach
At CO2 Junkies and the Hervey Bay Dive Centre we take the time to understand your goals and aspirations in the water.

We identify and overcome barriers that may be hindering your comfort and progress in the water.
