Freediving Family Reunion:

Greek Islands Live Aboard Adventure (8 Spots Total)

What Are Freediving Family Reunions?

Freediving Family Retreats are our way of bringing the friends and family we meet at Deep Weeks together once again to use what we learned to have fun and dive together!

Each family retreat is a close knit and unique experience for those that join. Space is very limited at these events which opens us up to one of a kind opportunities to explore the world with friends.

Them Greek Islands Tho!

So we all know Greece and its surrounding waters are stunning right? Many of the locations in the film The Big Blue (which is a fantastic and goofy movie that introduced a generation to freediving) filmed a majority of their freediving and underwater scenes in Greek waters.

Well! We are gonna jump on a boat for 4 days and 3 nights and explore those stunning waters! We will be diving in secluded coves, beautiful marinas full of life, incredible beaches and lounge in the sun in the open blue.

Our path will take us along the coast, seeing some of the most beautiful Greek ocean-side towns like Limeni and Kardamili with a few tactical detours to Proti isle and Sapientza isle which host absolutely incredible waters and beautiful secluded swimming spots.

We will also have the opportunity to jump off our 10 person live aboard to explore the towns of Pylos and eat a delicious sea side meal and Voidokoilia, which is the home of the ancient fort of Palaiokastro. If we are lucky, we may even see some dolphins!

The Freediving Family Retreat is your exclusive opportunity to continue your freediving journey with those who've become a part of your freediving family and their loved ones. Explore the crystal clear waters of Greece and reconnect with familiar faces, and experience one of those “once in a life time” trips with a like-minded community of divers. Your retreat package covers shared accommodation on the live aboard, transportation fees, entry fees to national parks, food on the boat (not including dinner in Pylos) and local guides, leaving you to cover any alcohol, snacks and food you want to bring with you and your own fun!

  • The Activities

    Surprise surprise! We will be diving in the stunning electric blue waters of the Mediterranean off the coasts of beautiful cliff sides, white sand beaches and beautiful sea-side towns.

    To be clear, this isnt so much hard core diving mode as it is "jumping into the water to dive between periods of hanging out, relaxing, and enjoying being on a boat in the sea! The dive spots are beautiful, but the vibes will definitely be "vacation mode."

    We will be waking up each day, having a little bite to eat and slowly make our way to the diving spots of the day. We will hang out on deck, feeling the Greek sun on our faces, and generally just relax and enjoy our vacation before arriving at our dive locations. We will get in, explore, and see what we can see! From coral to rock structures and reefs to beaches, the options for taking photos and exploring are going to be pretty incredible.

    We will have lunch and dinner on the boat from restaurants that we have brought with us along with anything you want to prepare yourself. The evenings will be spent hanging out on the boat, playing games and enjoying each others company before falling asleep and doing it all again the next day!

Frequently Asked Q’s

  • Unfortunately you have to have joined us for a Deep Week or one of our multi day events in Australia in the past to be able to join us at a Freediving Family Reunion.

    We do this because, not to brag, but theres something special about our events that you just need to see to fully experience! But don’t worry, we will be running more and more reunions as we move ahead so you will have plenty of opportunities to join us in amazing places around the world.

    In the mean time, check out our upcoming Deep Week dates by going to the Deep Week tab in our menu and join us for our next Deep Week!

  • During our Family Reunions, we don’t offer certifications. You must be at least Wave 1 certified to be able to attend these events!

  • Due to the unique nature of the events and how each one is individually planned, we are only able to transfer your deposit to a future Freediving Family Reunion and only if you have requested the deposit to be moved no closer than 6 weeks before the event begins.

    In the event that you need to cancel your spot within 6 weeks of the event starting, we do charge a fee equal to the event deposit. Any balance remaining can be applied to a future Family Reunion.

    We cannot issue refunds.

    For more info, check our terms of service.

  • Unfortunately it’s not included. You can either bring your own gear from home or you will be able to rent gear from our local partner! Use the contact form below for assistance with gear rental.

  • The water will be nice and warm (mid 20s) so a 3mm wetsuit should be more than enough. Additionally, because we arent doing training sessions, if you get cold you can just jump out of the water for a bit and warm up on the boat before getting back in again! Easy!

  • You can pay an initial deposit to secure your spot and later on pay the remainder balance.

    With no deposit, there is no booking confirmed.

    As soon as you book in, you will receive an email with a button that says “Pay Remainder Balance”. You can click that button anytime you like.

    We ask the full payment to be covered six weeks before the start of the event.

    You can also choose to pay in full.

  • PayPal or credit card. For further questions, please contact Brandon at DeepWeek@freedivingfamily.com

  • Nothing during the retreat is compulsory.

    If you feel like you need some time to chill and relax by skipping a dive session or want to go out for dinner close by with a group of friends you made, then by all means do so!

    With a smaller group, we have more flexibility to go off script but, as always, this is your vacation and you get to decide how you want to engage with it!
