  • I'm in Mt Gambier for a few weeks to dive all the incredible sinkholes in the area. I'm also here to run Deep Weekend in Kilsby Sinkhole! This is by far the best place to dive in Australia. Crystal clear waters, stunning light and scenery. There are very few places in the world that are like it.
    I'll be freediving several different sinkholes in South Australia over the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled!
    To learn to freedive in Kilsby Sinkhole check out www.freedivingfamily.com

      @@avarmauk A fear of the open ocean is completely reasonable, unease while on boats with no land in site would be normal for most.
      The phobia would be when thinking about it in your pool or on the couch and causing anxiety.
      Im fine in the surf or in my dam while I'm there, it's after that makes me feel a lil anxious. It's actually really frustrating.

    The Kilsby Sinkhole looks nothing short of spectacular. I feel so happy for you guys to be able to experience such things. Due to a heart condition, I am unable to do as much I used to do
    however, watching you guys I can, at least, live vicariously through your videos from here in Christchurch, Aotearoa/NZ. So, my dear Adam, I may not be well but if I ever see you losing
    your _Lust for Life_ then, I will come over to the land of vegemite and kick your butts. Though, I doubt that will ever be necessary. Just putting you on blast.
    Best wishes to you and yours, and hope you're coping with the dreaded morning sickness, Ms Freediver. I've been there. *HAPPY 2021*

    What a beautiful spot to dive, I love the “shard” of light, it creates some wonderful effects for the photos. It would have been good to hear about it’s significance to the First Australian peoples who lived in the area before colonisation by pastoralists. It’s hard not to imagine that it was a very significant place for the people living here before settlement.

    Hi Adam, great vids man, tks! If you go to Cuba some time, you may want to visit a cave in Varadero which name is Saturno that has some similarities to the place on this vid... I believe the max depth was around 27M , and as you go deeper, the water is warmer... very beautiful and you can freedive it without problems. The only "issue" is the tourists, usually it's full of them but the deep part is most of time free as nobody goes there.
    Keep it up! ;)
