Brisbane
Bullsharks

A freediving club set up and run by freedivers, for freedivers. Based at The Valley Pool, Brisbane.

Freedivers,
for Freedivers

The Brisbane Bullsharks is a freediving club that welcomes both freedivers and spearfishers. Our training program is designed to enhance freediving skills across all experience levels — from beginners to competition level.

We exist to create a safe training environment where divers can thoroughly learn and practice apnea and the technique of the sport — to foster continual advancement of knowledge, technique, and physical ability.
