I just finished my freediving course and honestly, it was such an amazing experience -- definitely 5 stars from me. Lampros is a great instructor, he was super friendly, really clear with his explanations and made safety a priority.

I did my Wave 2 with Lampros. He is a very good Instructor who has a very good eye for details in your technique and is able to explain everything nice and clear. I really enjoyed the time having him as an Instructor and had a lot of fun.
Marius Schreiner
Wave 2 Student
In early August, my son and I joined Lampros from Freedive Crete for several coaching sessions in Plakias. My goal was to improve equalization beyond 20 m, and Lampros immediately tailored the training to my needs -- minimal theory, maximum practice.

I spent a full week with Lampros, and must say it was transformative. We covered a huge amount of ground, transitioning my SSI L1 to Molchanovs Wave.

If you are looking for freediving in Crete, this is the place for you. I obtained my CMAS II certificate during my holidays. Lampros speaks English very fluently and is highly competent. I was able to learn a lot and systematize my knowledge.

I came to Crete to dive here and enhance my technique. Lampros is an amazing, very professional and precise instructor who helped me so much to improve and dive in a safe way.

I've done freediving with different dive centers during my travels, and Lampros is the coolest, most attentive, and most pleasant instructor I've ever met. I highly recommend him regardless of your level; he'll adapt to you.

I did my CMAS certificate and also a spearfishing trip with Lampros. Even the theory was funny and I learned a lot. With his good teaching and his calm being I was able to make a 4:30min static apnea without training.

I was freediving and spearfishing with Lampros. The freediving conditions were fantastic -- the best conditions I ever had! Lampros managed to plan the sessions at places with smooth seas, even on days with strong wind.

I did 4 days of Apnoe (free diving) training at Plakias, Crete, together with Lampros as my instructor. But at first we met, had a coffee, and discussed what my aims are. The 4 days were just that: great, personalized progress, and for a good price.
Chris UI
Apnoe Student
Lampros is a very friendly and patient instructor who makes you feel comfortable and also ensures you feel safe while diving. I took freediving sessions with him, and even as an experienced freediver, I received many valuable tips and suggestions to further refine my technique.
