Since day dot, Chloe has felt most at home and peace in the water. Growing up on the east coast with endless hours spent in the water as a competitive swimmer, avid beach goer and surfer shaped her into the confident water woman she is today.
After years of competing at an elite level in swimming and winning national medals, she realised it was no longer her dream to compete. After stepping away from competitive swimming, she took her first freediving course in Bali in 2018, and fell in love - even if she started as a feet first diver!
From there, Chloe spent the next year travelling the world, diving, learning and exploring, and was lucky enough to be coached and taught by National champions and be surrounded by world class divers. After travelling Australia for the last 3 years and working in some of the healthiest reef ecosystems in the world as a water guide, she now turns her focus to helping connect people deeper to the ocean and themselves through the act of freediving.
She is drawn to diving for its mystery, quietness, ability to drop you down into the bodying and out of the mind within seconds and the beauty and feelings that come with being below the surface. Her patience and calm demeanour will allow you to completely relax and enjoy the process.

Time with the dolphins and whales led to a fascination with animal communication. She has studied with some of the greatest teachers in the world and been a guest speaker at their seminars.
” I’m so excited to share with you the whale and dolphin songs. We have a hydrophone we put into the ocean to listen to the extraordinary songs. Bring your phone and record the songs to take home for ever.”
is a custom built aluminium vessel that is fast, strong and sturdy, being designed for the ocean and river. With a plaining hull we only draw 450cm giving us great access to the Noosa River Mouth on most tides and the ability for a beach access. Our vessel is smooth and comfortable in the ocean and waves and has been used for diving and fishing offshore. It is a very safe boat with built in floatation so it cannot sink! Exceeding all modern navigation and safety equipment standards for commercial use, you are in the best of hands.
For your convenience we have ample refrigeration, a toilet and a roof for shade. There is plenty of room to walk safely around the boat for great viewing.
We are very excited to take you on your next adventures in the waters around Noosa.
Join us in the pristine waters of the Sunshine Coast’s gem, Noosa. Known for its natural beauty, biodiversity of native plants and animals, world class surf breaks, crystal clear waters, thriving reef system and cultural heritage, it is an idyllic place to learn to dive and deepen your connection to the ocean. With the option of diving in either Laguna Bay or Sunshine, this bountiful ocean playground provides some amazing diving sites. One of which is Jew Shoal. A large reef system of ridges, canyons and bommies, with colourful gutters covered in hard and soft coral, reef fish, sea stars, over 100 different nudibranchs, cowries and seasonal passing mantas. We will always choose the dive site with the most favourable weather conditions to ensure you are comfortable and able to fully relax on your dives.
Noosa’s thriving and diverse ecosystem supports a variety of dolphins, most commonly seen are our resident bottlenose dolphins and the more timid humpback dolphins. Laguna Bay offers sheltered waters where the dolphins play, feed, hunt and interact. All dolphin encounters are on the dolphins terms, and they are treated with the utmost respect and love from us. We let them approach us and we do not guarantee sightings, as they are wild animals and it is out of our control. In saying this, it is highly likely that we will encounter the friendly resident dolphins at some point of the day, and you will learn lots of intriguing facts from our expert Peppie. The onboard hydrophone allows us to listen to the songs and symphony’s of the dolphins allowing us to connect with them in a very special way.
