What Our Students Say

Real experiences from our training sessions

We had a really good time with Lampros and Freedive Crete. We did 2 days of coaching and a half day excursion. The only thing we regret is not booking a full day, as it was really fun and tailored to what we wanted.

Marvin

Simply perfect! From the first contact via email, I felt welcome and at home. Su Wei, my coach, was incredibly welcoming and kind. I opted for the coaching session and it was tailored perfectly to my needs.

JB

Jas Bic

Lampros and Su are outstanding freediving instructors. Whether you are just starting your freediving journey or already at an advanced level, they cover the full spectrum of knowledge, safety and skills.

I had the most amazing experience diving at Freedive Crete. Both Lampros & Sue are great instructors. They are extremely professional, I felt safe, comfortable and confident.

Nehora Chajes

Absolutely incredible experience! We booked a freediving session in Plakias with Lampros, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.

Marie R

We learned a lot in a short time during the one-day Discover course. Some members of our group, who had no experience and couldn't imagine diving, managed to go deeper than 5 meters underwater! Our expectations were exceeded!

FW

F Werner

We had an amazing, wonderful, and professional experience! You took great care of us both in and out of the water -- we felt completely safe and can't wait to dive with you again!

Thank you for the best spearfishing and free diving experience. From the first day learning breath work to the subsequent days doing free diving and spearfishing, I feel so accomplished. Will be back again with more friends.

Ben Farnum

Went for some sessions with my son and also one time with our whole group of friends (17 pax), all experiences were truly superb. Both instructors, Lampros and Su managed everything perfectly. Safety never went short at all.

We had a great experience freediving with Lampros. We started off with a very comprehensive and complete review of the theory -- including a basic overview as well as detailed descriptions of anatomy, nutrition, safety, and protocol.

Went on a guided boat free dive tour with Lampros, my daughter, and my husband. Lampros is extremely professional and takes guiding very seriously. He taught me and my husband some great breathing tricks. Both dives were awesome and great learning experiences.

The Academy

Meet Your Instructors

Technique is the easy part. What our students remember is how calm they felt in the water, and that is what both instructors teach toward.

Lampros, lead freediving instructor at Freedive Crete

Lead Instructor & Founder

Lampros

Lampros teaches the way he dives: calm and precise. With first-timers he keeps things slow and simple. With certified divers he watches every detail and says exactly what he sees.

AIDA Instructor & Judge

Su Wei Tran

Su Wei teaches freediving and judges AIDA competitions. That mix shows in her coaching: she knows what clean technique looks like at the highest level, and how to help you get there without rushing.

How We Teach

Theoretical Foundation

You learn what pressure and breath-hold do to your body before you ever get wet.

Practical Skills

Then we build technique in the water, one skill at a time.

Mental Training

Most of freediving happens in your head. Relaxation and focus get trained like any other skill.

Safety Integration

Rescue drills run through every stage of training, not as a separate chapter.
