Spearfishing in Chania, Crete (price is per group)
I'm Panagiotis and I have started fishing at the age of 5 years old. I remember myself going with my father, who was my first teacher for spearfishing. I have been at the sea from such a very young age and my ability to dive deep, gave me the advantage to learn quickly about the habits of fish. I became a freediver and a freediver-instructor. Now, I want to teach you how to free-dive and go spearfishing to catch that big fish you have always been dreaming of!
Even if you are not experienced in spearfishing you can always observe me going for spearfishing. I'll catch your fish and then we'll grill it on board of our RIB boat and dine all together! Are you ready for this experience to live like a local Cretan?
