Kalamis Freediving Course

For those who want to pursue their freediving course in a practical in-city spot with regular sessions, Kalamış is an ideal choice. The Kalamış freediving course is designed to teach you techniques step by step in the calm waters of the sheltered cove beside the marina, guided by a certified instructor.

Why freedive in Kalamış?

Kalamış's marina and sheltered cove offer a stable, safe environment for training. The wind-protected cove keeps sea conditions calm most of the time, letting you practise techniques without interruption. Being in the city makes it easy to continue across multiple regular sessions, supported by Kadıköy's lively sea culture.

What you will learn

Training starts on land with diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation, learning to slow your pulse and find mental calm. Then, in the cove's calm waters, you practise equalization, the correct duck dive and efficient finning. The controlled setting lets you safely experience static and dynamic apnea basics, and you repeat the buddy safety system, surface support and partner coordination until mastered.

Who is it for?

This course suits swimmers aged 15 and over wanting a regular, systematic start in freediving. Whether from scratch or building a solid foundation, the instructor advances you at your pace. Ideal for those seeking regular in-city sessions.
