The minimum participant requirement and maximum capacity are always stated on each individual course page.

If the minimum number of participants is not met for your selected date, we will offer one of the following options:

Reschedule to the nearest available date.

Booking credit according to our Deposit and Booking Policy

We aim to confirm the group format no later than 8 days before the start date (or as soon as possible for last-minute bookings).
-
Courses are open to the public and we fill group spots continuously. You do not need to arrange additional participants yourself.
-
We accept bookings up until the last minute, as long as the course is not fully booked and the schedule allows a last minute booking.
No-Shows and Late Arrivals
-
If a participant fails to show up for a confirmed session without prior notice, Freedive Lefkada reserves the right to decline future bookings.
-
Missed sessions due to late arrival, early departure, or personal schedule conflicts are not refundable.
-
We may adjust the schedule only if safety conditions and instructor availability allow it.
Weather and Safety Related Changes
Freediving depends on conditions such as wind, waves, currents, visibility, and safety logistics.
-
We may change the dive site, reschedule, or adjust the session plan due to safety conditions.
-
If we cannot deliver the service as planned and no alternative is possible, you will receive a full refund of all payments made, including the deposit.
-
If the course has started and only part cannot be delivered, we will refund the undelivered portion of the course fees.
Travel Insurance Recommendation
-
To protect your deposit, we strongly recommend travel insurance.
-
Please note that illness, travel disruptions, or missed sessions do not qualify for a refund within the cancellation window.
