Absolute legends! I wish I could stay longer. Definitely coming back!
One of the best freediving centres I’ve dived with!Great facilities, very organised scheduling, really friendly people, awesome vibes! The owner Nejc and Nikos are such wonderful human beings and they have a great team of staff!! It made me feel really relaxed and comfortable diving with them or just hanging out. Really good to train depth there too because the conditions are good and they have dedicated safety divers (feeling a bit spoilt)! You can train on the buoys (up to 50m) or train on the mainline (competition setup) up to (basically) unlimited depth!There were so much to love! The diving, the skandalopetra, the ice bath, the dinners and laughs… It’s amazing to have great people you can trust when diving deep and to hang out with post-dive coffee. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Look forward to going back! Thank you KF team for a great time!
Great atmosphere. The team is really helpful. It was nice to meet all the participants who came here to dive. We are already planning the next trip.
We did an AIDA Level 2 course and the course was super professional and we learned a lot. Our instructor (Roisin) was excellent and we had a lot of fun.
Professional, friendly and competent school. I would recommend it. We were lucky enough to be there just before the World Championships, so we were able to use the special platform and watch the pros train. That was a plus and exciting. The school also sells equipment.
This was my second visit to Kalamata Freedivers in the last 4 months. This time to start and complete AIDA 2.The waters might be a little colder in December but the centre is well equipped with 5mm wetsuits and socks. Temperature was not an issue. Even after some rain, the visibility was very good and we were treated to some extremely still and sunny mornings in the bay.They were very accommodating to my needs/dates. Equipment was in very good condition. The knowledge and experience by Nejc and Nikos is extremely good. They are very supportive and were happy to give advice and training that was not included in the course content. I felt well guided and very safe under their supervisionI leave Kalamata very happy and plan to return for AIDA 3 in the near future.Edit Apr 24. I have been and completed my Aida 3 and thoroughly enjoyed it. ❤️
I’m sitting here in the bus to Athen, trying to figure out how to put all of this into words. There are so many positive things to say that it’s challenging to pick just one without mentioning all the others.This is my second year at this amazing place, and it’s only now that I’m finally writing this review.Kalamata Freedivers is undoubtedly one of the world’s top freediving centers. Why?First and foremost, Nejc and Nikos, the owners. The stress-free and heartwarming relationships they build with every single freediver are remarkable. They go above and beyond to help with your freediving needs, but also with anything else you might need outside the water! They are super friendly, polite, and patient.Second, the facilities. Spacious, clean, and always accessible. Outdoor showers, indoor and outdoor chill-out areas you can use anytime. Plenty of space to dry and store your diving gear between sessions. There’s even an ice bath for those committed to a healthy lifestyle. Forgot something? You can rent gear or buy new equipment on-site. They offer Cetma Official fins, monofins, Kalamata Freedivers and Cetma merch, and Meister equipment. Even if you're not diving, you can stop by for coffee, a slice of someone’s PB cake, or just a casual chat.Third, the weather. Probably one of the most iconic aspects of Kalamata Freedivers. Morning sessions in mirror-like blue waters, with no wind or current most of the time, and visibility over 30 meters! The water and air temperatures are typically above 25°C for most of the year, and even warmer during the season.Fourth, the diving setup. This place can easily accommodate 40+ divers a day while maintaining proper safety and plenty of space for relaxed dives. Buoys up to 50m and a mainline for dives deeper than 120m. The setup includes a thick line, plenty of bottom weights for the best FIM dives, a counterweight system, deco line, deep scooter safety, all necessary medical equipment, and evacuation plans. Three boats ensure smooth and short transfers between the center and the dive site.Next, the people. The amazing team takes care of everyone. Whether you want to chat, get tips on your equalization, or just have a good time, the Kalamata Freedivers family has got you covered. The friendships you build here will last forever – you’ll be in tears when it’s time to leave!And beyond all that, Kalamata itself offers a beautiful city, delicious food, beaches, bars, and coffee shops.You really have to experience it yourself to understand what makes this place so special!See you out there sometime in the future!BR!@yourfreedivebuddy
We spent one week in Kalamata, diving for 5 days at the buoy. Before our arrival, Nejc helped us very diligently with the organisation and when on site, the scheduling of the dives was smooth. Everyone at Kalamata Freedivers is smiley and easy-going. The mood at the line was always great, with the safety team being very attentive and supportive. Besides, the water is just beautiful! Definetely an experience woth repeating
It was a great time with wonderful people in the deep blue waters of Kalamata.It’s a super relaxed and familiar vibe and the Kalamata Freedivers is runned by great divers and professionals. I recommend it for 100% and can’t wait to be back soon. I miss it already.
