What a fun way to celebrate Djilba - the Season of Renewal (Nyoongar Six Seasons) and the beginning of our freediving season here in Perth - by diving into our beloved sea together for community renewal!
❤️🌈🐟

With gratitude for all the beautiful humans that joined us. ☺️🙏

📸 Thank you to Niraj Dave and Tania Douthwaite for the photos.

Our first Blueback Community Day SUN 7 SEPT 2025 for the season was bone-chilling whilst heart-warming – reminding us of the beauty and brilliance of nature and its power to strengthen our inner resources by testing us! 🥶❄️….while then rewarding us with sunshine, rainbows and (chattering) smiles!
🌞🌈☺️

This is Blueback Freediving & Yoga’s 10th year and 90th 🥰free community freedive day in WA, marking the start of our second decade teaching and serving the Perth ocean community. We run a community day every month, 9 months of the year. Couldn’t be prouder and delighted that, despite a tremendous trio of -

🌬️strong wind
🌊 big swell and
🌧️ rainy, cold air

- our community still showed up for each other, the sea and themselves.

📍 Next Blueback Community Day: Saturday 25 October 7am-12noon.

🙏🏾Beyond practical ecological markers like the spawning of “Djilba” (bream) at this time of year, Djilba is deeply woven into Noongar cultural rhythms. This season signals when ancestral beings moved across the landscape, and when nature begins its seasonal renewal.

❤️ Together we’ll explore and freedive the wild southwest coast of Western Australia, dive the historic MV Lena shipwreck - one of WA’s most extraordinary underwater playgrounds, bathe in the majestic Tuart Forests with possum night-spotting adventures.

You’ll enjoy coastal reef and sea forest expeditions to live life as Ocean People, learning in collaboration with nature about the seasons, weather, marine life and ways of living in harmony with yourself, each other and the sea.

What’s included:

🏡 3 days / 3 nights accommodation in our Southwest seaside home,
🌮 Healthy nutritious meals with all dietary needs catered for,
🐬 Private chartered vessel to explore Lena shipwreck & opportunity to swim with dolphins,

Such great news! 🥳

After years of sharing how remarkable and important Exmouth Gulf is and fighting for its protection, it is poised to receive the love and protection it needs.

The interconnectedness to Ningaloo Reef and Exmouth Gulf is like the connection of breath and life.

No gulf, no reef. 🐟🪸
No breath, no life. 🫁❤️

Unique, biodiverse marine ecosystems needed marine scientists, First Nations’ knowledge-holders and concerned citizens to band together and provide a safe guard from coastal development, climate change, salt mine proposals, oil & gas pollution, drilling, pipe-bundle facilities and more!

This is an inspiring story of hope. So grateful to the local ocean carers community at , the WA-wide community at ProtProtect Ningaloo the good people at the for taking up the cause and never backing down.

It’s years of hard work and dedication by a team of trailblazers. We’re so happy and humbled to have been a part of that journey. Well done, beautiful humans and thank you.
That bigger, biodiverse and beautiful part of you sometimes called ‘nature’ or simply ‘oceans’ thanks you too.

☺️🙏🌊💙

Exmouth Gulf is one of the most extraordinary and unique marine ecosystems on the planet.

It deserves the highest level of protection.

That’s why today I announced we’re establishing a new marine park spanning the entirety of the Exmouth Gulf.

This historic announcement will conserve and protect this globally significant marine habitat for generations to come.

We’re working in genuine partnership with Traditional Owners, to protect its cultural and environmental value while also ensuring the community and industry can continue to enjoy this special place.

To ensure the long-term health of the Gulf’s ecosystems, at least 30 per cent of the marine park will be designated as no-catch sanctuary zones.

This builds on our strong environmental record, and our commitment to protect and restore WA’s land, oceans and rivers.

Perth’s longest running freedivers’ weekly professional training squad.

Train effectively for freediving and in a fun, social, safety-managed environment while improving holistic health.

Pool freedive training is a great way to see consistent practise and coaching improve the way freediving feels and the level of enjoyment you experience as a more skilled and confident underwater breath-holder.
