Wat is Freediving?

Freediving is de kunst van het onderwater verkennen op één adem. Het vereist ontspanning, techniek en mentale focus om onder het wateroppervlak te duiken zonder apparatuur. Beoefend voor recreatie of sport, verbindt freediving je met de oceaan op een pure, stille manier, wat het lichaamsbewustzijn verbetert.

Veelgestelde Vragen

Is freediven veilig voor beginners?
Ja, freediven is volledig veilig voor beginners wanneer het wordt onderwezen door gecertificeerde instructeurs. Freedive Crete hanteert een maximale verhouding van 1 instructeur op 4 studenten en volgt de veiligheidsprotocollen van Molchanovs. Alle cursussen in Plakias beginnen met ademhalingsoefeningen op het land voordat de watersessies plaatsvinden, en we bieden constant toezicht tijdens elke duik.
Hoe lang duurt het om freediven te leren?
De meeste beginners bereiken 2-3 minuten ademinhoudtijd en duiken tot 10-15 meter diepte binnen een Wave 1 cursus van 2-3 dagen. De Molchanovs Wave 1 certificering bij Freedive Crete duurt 2-3 dagen, terwijl SSI Level 1 2 dagen vereist. Gevorderde vaardigheden zoals 20+ meter duiken en 4+ minuten statische apneu ontwikkelen zich over 4-8 weken regelmatige training.
Wat zijn de vereisten voor een freediving cursus?
Je moet comfortabel zijn in het water en 200 meter ononderbroken kunnen zwemmen. Geen duik- of freediving-ervaring is vereist voor beginnerscursussen. Alle studenten vullen een medische vragenlijst in voor de training, en iedereen met ademhalings- of hartaandoeningen dient vooraf een arts te raadplegen.
Wat is de beste tijd om Kreta te bezoeken voor freediving?
Mei tot oktober biedt de beste freediving omstandigheden in Plakias, Kreta. Watertemperaturen variëren van 20 graden in mei tot 27 graden in augustus. Juni tot september biedt optimale omstandigheden met 25-27 graden water, 20+ meter zicht en kalme zeeën. Ons hoogseizoen is juli-augustus, dus boek vroeg voor deze maanden.
Welke uitrusting moet ik meenemen?
Je hoeft alleen zwemkleding, een handdoek en zonnebrandcrème mee te nemen. Freedive Crete biedt alle gespecialiseerde uitrusting voor certificeringscursussen, inclusief lange freediving vinnen, low-volume maskers, 5mm wetsuits, gewichtsriemen, boeien en lanyards. Alle uitrusting is van professionele kwaliteit en wordt goed gereinigd tussen gebruik. Voor training- en coachingsessies is uitrustingverhuur apart beschikbaar.

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.

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.

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.
