Regulations and Safety Measures

​By submitting the booking form, you confirm your participation in the selected freediving course or training session and agree to abide by all points outlined in these Regulations and Safety Measures.

  • Payment is made on-site, either via bank transfer or in cash. We do not collect any advance payments or deposits.

​​​

  • The training session price does not include equipment rental. Use of equipment is included only in freediving courses.​

​

  • Reservations must be made at least one day in advance, with a deadline at 6:00 PM, and are considered valid only after confirmation from Freedive Lefkada.​

​​

  • Equipment rental (e.g. wetsuit, mask, fins, lanyard) is available upon request for an additional fee.

Booking Cancellations

​

If you can no longer attend a confirmed training session, we kindly ask that you notify us as early as possible via email or WhatsApp. There is no penalty for cancellation, but we highly appreciate responsible communication so we can manage scheduling and safety effectively.
 

Safety Measures

​

Safety is our highest priority. To ensure a safe freediving environment for all participants, the following safety rules apply:

​

  • All participants must complete and sign the liability waiver and medical statement before any in-water activities.

  • Diving insurance is provided only to students participating in full educational courses.

  • Participants joining training sessions must arrange their own freediving insurance.

  • Freediving is allowed only under the supervision of a Freedive Lefkada instructor.

  • Divers must inform the instructor of their planned depth and dive profile prior to diving.

  • Freediving is allowed only on the buoy , which must always be properly secured.

  • Open line diving is not permitted at any time.

  • A personal lanyard is mandatory for all dives and must meet AIDA safety standards.

  • Divers must not remove their lanyard during a dive unless a safety concern arises.

Repetitive Dives Guidelines

​

50–55 meters: max 3 dives, with minimum 20-minute surface intervals

55–60 meters: max 2 dives, with minimum 30-minute surface intervals

Deeper than 60 meters: not permitted during regular training sessions at Freedive Lefkada

​Participant Responsibility

​

Participants must ensure they are in good physical and mental health on the day of the course or training. If feeling unwell or fatigued, they are required to notify the instructor before entering the water.

No-Shows

​

If a participant fails to show up for a confirmed session without prior notice, Freedive Lefkada reserves the right to decline future bookings. 

Equipment Responsibility

​

Participants using rented equipment are responsible for returning it in the same condition. In case of loss or damage caused by negligence, a replacement fee may be charged.  

Media Consent Clarification

​

Freedive Lefkada may take photos and videos during sessions for promotional use. If you do not wish to appear in any materials, you must notify us in writing before your course or training begins. 

Substance Use and Doping

Participation in any freediving activity under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, or any performance-enhancing substances (doping) is strictly prohibited.

Freedive Lefkada follows freediving safety and ethical standards which require a clean and focused physical state for diving.
If an instructor suspects any form of impairment or violation of these rules, the participant will be immediately excluded from the session without refund.

Right to Change Dive Site or Cancel Session

​

Freedive Lefkada reserves the right to change the dive site, reschedule, or cancel a session due to weather, sea conditions, boat issues, or other safety concerns. We prioritize your safety at all times.

Requirements to Join

​​

Participation in open water training sessions requires a valid freediving certification (AIDA, SSI, PADI, or equivalent).
If you're not certified yet, you'll need to complete a beginner course first — we’ll be happy to guide you through it.

​

The minimum age to join a course is 16 years old (with parental consent), or 18+ without consent.
Younger participants (from age 8) can join select experience sessions, but certification is not possible at that level.
