Come and find out just how far underwater a single breath can take you
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.
Freediving gives you the advantage of being a silent observer beneath the waves and opens you up to a next level of intimate interactions with marine life. If you enjoy snorkeling and want to be able to discover the underwater world of every corner of this planet without having to carry around lots of equipment, then come and find out all about freediving!Â
The Try Freediving experience is an introduction to the amazing sport of freediving. It is a 2-3h experience and you will start your day with a short academic session for the equipment used and how our bodies react in a breath hold and in the water, as well as how we can improve our breath hold abilities through special breathing techniques. Then you will have an in-water session together with an instructor where you discover your freediving capabilities in the confined water environment (up to 5 meters deep) just off the beach of our dive center.Â
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 fins, as well as a weather appropriate freediving wetsuit. You will also use and learn about a freediving safety buoy and lines.Â
When you sign up to the course you gain access to SSI Try Freediving online learning materials which are a quick introductory read. This can be accessed through SSI Website/App and be downloaded for offline use. You will also receive an in-person academic learning session prior to the in-water activities.Â

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!
