What Our Students Say
Feedback from divers who trained spearfishing with us, part of our 5.0 rating on Google
“Did the Discover Spearfishing course with a friend of mine, overall a great experience that was both insightful and a lot of fun. Lampros explained the course materials in a clear and concise manner, we found he had a great capacity for teaching.”
“My beginners spearfishing course with Lampros has been an amazing experience and I can't recommend Lampros expertise and hospitality highly enough. It was a thrilling and challenging experience under water to apply the skills learned.”
“I had a fantastic introduction to spearfishing! Lampros is an excellent instructor -- extremely professional, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn.”
“With the help and guidance of Freedive Crete and my freediving-spearfishing instructor Lampros I managed to catch a nice white seabream in just 5 spearfishing sessions. I started without any experience and Lampros made it possible.”
“Lampros free dive in Plakias was a great experience! I went with my family of 5 (3 children 17,17,20) and we all had some basic snorkeling skills but spending the afternoon with Lampros was really great at discovering what spear fishing is all about.”
“Couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Spearfishing. Also, Lampros is such a cool guy!”
“Lampros is a very competent, calm and attentive guide and teacher. We were taking the half day spearfishing trip and were successful the very first time. I learned a lot and cannot wait to come back.”
“I took the SI spearfishing course level 1 and gained a solid idea of how to spearfish safely and effectively. Lampros was patient, thorough, and made the whole experience fun.”
