Build Confidence and Ocean Awareness Through an Inspiring Eight Week Youth Freediving Program
The Ocean School Program offers an inspiring eight week journey designed to build confidence, curiosity, and essential water skills for young ocean explorers. Set in the calm and beautiful bays of Jervis Bay, each 90 minute session blends freediving, yoga, breathwork, and ocean awareness to create a meaningful connection to the sea. Students progress from basic swimming skills to using masks, snorkels, and fins, while learning safe breath holding, duck diving, and essential ocean safety principles in a controlled environment.
The program also introduces key topics such as freediving foundations, buddy safety, plastic pollution, shark behaviour, marine mammals, seaweed ecology, the Great Southern Reef, and fish identification, all taught in a fun and supportive outdoor environment. All required equipment can be provided, including quality snorkelling gear and a warm wetsuit, with the option to purchase durable dive equipment used by our students. This comprehensive approach ensures that every child feels safe, supported, and excited about their underwater journey.
Ocean School for 2026 runs during Term 1, beginning the week of 2 February, with sessions held each week from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Locations are shared through a private group to ensure safety and exclusivity for all participants. Classes continue in rain, with indoor lessons provided during severe weather to ensure that the learning process remains consistent and engaging. This structure allows students to maintain their momentum and continue developing their skills regardless of the external conditions.
This program aims to nurture a lifelong love for the ocean by providing children with the tools they need to explore safely and responsibly. By combining physical training with environmental education, we empower the next generation to become stewards of the marine world. Whether your child is a beginner or has some experience in the water, our expert instructors provide the guidance necessary to help them thrive and gain a deeper understanding of the complex ecosystems found within Jervis Bay.

Customer Reviews
I had an absolutely fantastic weekend doing my orientation dive (and fun dives) with Ocean Divers at Killary Fjord! From the moment I arrived every member of staff and all the other divers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, making it easy to feel comfortable even if you’re just starting out like me (10 dives previously). There were a lot of divers, but each in small groups with their own dive master or dive instructor and grouped together in the OW/AOW courses or fun dives. While I had already done my OW elsewhere, I’ll definitely be doing the advanced course and further dives with these guys as the level of dedication and commitment that goes into making their students be successful divers is visible. Bring a bit of patience for the initial response period if you reach out during a very busy time - it‘s hard to respond when you’re always in the water 😄 but I honestly can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.
I’m doing the drysuit diver course with Oceandivers at the moment. I was having trouble getting my buoyancy right, so had six pool sessions to get it right at no extra charge!! What a crew Oceandivers have. There was no pressure, just take your time and get it right. Dan is always on hand to help you out and the rest of the lads are so helpful. I had my first sea dive for the buoyancy certification today off Dalkey island. It was fantastic!! The extra lessons really paid off. I cannot recommend the Oceandivers crew highly enough. It is and has been a pleasure working with Oceandivers to get my drysuit certification. Can’t wait to get back in the water with the crew!!
I got my OW course with Oceandivers in the previous two months and they are really professional and helpful. Especially, I would like to thank my instructor Alan, he is really amazing experience diver and nice advisor. Great enjoy my training with him and also thank other instructors, divemasters and staffs from Oceandivers.
