Do it step by step
Freediving is the purest form of diving and gives you an incomparable feeling of oneness with the ocean! It allows you to be a silent observer of the underwater world. Come and discover your breath-holding potential and find out why freedivers truly love their sport. After attending this course you will be able to hold your breath in a safe way and see how many “pools” you can count.
Do you enjoy snorkeling, but want to learn what it takes to be able to discover more of the underwater world of this planet without having to carry around lots of equipment, then come take this 2 day course to learn to freedive in a pool/confined water environment! This programme is open to everyone (over 12 years old), whether you already have some experience or whether you have never broken below the surface. Essentially it is the SSI Freediver course without the Open water sessions, therefore it’s perfect if you want to learn how to freedive, but don’t yet feel ready to concur the depths. Through this course you will learn new things about both your mind and your body and gain a strong admiration for the sport and the underwater world.
Through the 1 day course you will have academic sessions to gain knowledge of breath hold diving physiology, special breathing techniques and in-water safety. You will also receive in-water training in a pool and confined water to practice static breatholds on the surface, as well as dynamic breath holds (swimming the pool lengths underwater in a single breath).
While not as much as scuba diving, freediving still involves the use of some gear. You will use and be provided with a freediving mask, snorkel and freediving fins, as well as a weather appropriate freediving wetsuit.
If you have any of your own gear you are welcome to use it or if you are wanting to invest in personal gear, our instructors would be delighted to advise you on the gear most fit for your goals, and our in-house shop also has a selection of freediving gear available for purchase.
When you sign up to the course you gain access to SSI Freediver materials (as pool freediver certification is just a subset of the whole course) which are best completed before starting your in-person lessons, including the online exam.The materials can be accessed through SSI Website/App and be downloaded for offline use. You will also receive in-person academic learning sessions, and in-water training in a pool and confined water environment.
Fantastic experience taking the “Try Freediving” course with Giannis. Instruction was clear, professional, well organized and fun! The shop has a great vibe, so I’m sure you will have a great experience at Amorgos Diving Center no matter what activity you select. Obviously very well-run.
Great diving Center! The team were kind, organised and they knew what they were doing! I did one dive and the experience was fantastic! The equipment is excellent and I would definitely recommend them!
Excellent diving center with a great team and also important: high quality gear! 🙂
Excellent diving center : serious, modern equipment, very nice team and thorough knowledge of Amorgos best diving spot. Giannis K and Dimitris, my freediving instructors were excellent teachers. Thanks a lot!
Amazing people, excellent staff, friendly & generally awesome! Made our experience (me wife & 9yo) on Amorgos so exciting & fun. Thanks to all the instructors & staff we had during our time – they made us all feel so welcome & cared for. Thank you, from Simon, Maddie, Libby & Teddy!
Absolutely professional diving center with multilingual crew and dive masters. Offer Freediving and Scuba. Great spots with – for Greece – a good amount of interesting fish, caves and ancient stuff like marble blocks and amphoras left over from a sunken ship.
Highly recommendable address and a must if you think about diving somewhere around Amorgos!
