The story behind Exhale
Brothers on the tools. Buddies in the water.
We’re Brendon and Craig Barnett. Both dads, builders, spearos and freediving instructors. We often work together, on building sites, in the classroom and out in the water.
At Exhale, we bring our different strengths to the same goal: helping you become a more capable, confident and considerate diver. We keep the learning practical, make room for questions and take the time to understand where you are starting.
Preparation, technique and looking after your buddy sit at the centre of how we teach. Whether you are new to freediving or already spending plenty of time in the water, we will help you work out a useful next step.
Brendon Barnett
PADI Advanced Freediver Instructor
Brendon brings a practical approach to the team, helping you work out where you are starting, choose a useful next step and take the time to understand it.
Working alongside Craig, he focuses on preparation, technique and good buddy habits. The aim is to build skills you understand and can put into practice.
Craig Barnett
Freediving Instructor
Craig brings a calm, relaxed approach to the team, whether he is running a theory class or out diving alongside Brendon. He makes the theory clear and practical, with plenty of room for questions.
An awesome spearo, conscientious buddy and a legend to dive with, Craig helps keep the learning relaxed while taking the important stuff seriously.
