FREEDIVING AND SOMATICS RETREAT (Far North Queensland)

Freediving • Breathwork • Nature Inversion • Somatic Movement

Lake Eacham & Lake Barrine, Atherton Tablelands
30 April – 4 May 2026

Come dive into stillness.
For five days we’ll live in the rainforest canopy of the Atherton Tablelands and drop daily into the deep, glassy crater lakes of Eacham and Barrine—two of Australia’s most consistent freediving environments, with ~65m freshwater depth, calm conditions, and no swell or current.

This retreat is for people who want to go deeper—literally and internally.
We’ll train freediving skills, refine equalisation, build CO₂ tolerance, and balance it all with somatic exploration, breathwork journeys, and playful inversion practices in nature.

Beginner to advanced freedivers welcome.
Whether you’re training for depth, curious to try freediving for the first time, or craving a nervous-system reset in wild water… this is your invitation.

Why the Lakes?

Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine are volcanic crater lakes tucked in World Heritage rainforest. Think: mornings on mirror-still water, soft hum of birds, and a depth line that reaches the blue. These lakes are protected within Crater Lakes National Park and are known for their consistency and accessibility.

YOUR INSTRUCTORS:

Jack Webb – Freediving instructor, explorer, and depth nerd with a calm, precise teaching style.
Ana Balbuena – Breathwork & somatic facilitator, freediver, and nature-based embodiment guide.
Together we blend high-quality training with deep nervous-system care, so you evolve as a diver and a human.
