Discover the Thrill of the Blue with Almyrida Boat Rental and Freediving
Simos grew up in Athens, but half of his life he has lived in different places of Greece and few foreign countries. He was a certified freediving instructor in "FDI" organisation and "CMAS-EOYDA" federations. The sea was his passion. He was doing spearfishing and freediving for the past 20 years professionally. He was also a certified Beach lifeguard by the National Greek Coastguard and had been served his country for 8 years and had been to many seminars about safety and rescue. He was a P.A.D.I Dive Master too and has finished National Commercial Diving School of Greece. He was a founder of Cretan Freedivers - freediving community in Crete.
He loved gardening, played guitar and sang too. He was very proud of his roots and could talk for hours about ancient Greece. :)
The sea was his beloved element - most of the time you could meet him there: underwater or on the boat.
Simos was a loving father, a supportive husband, a beloved son, a brother and a friend. His most beloved element - the Sea - has taken him away from us.
Rest in Peace. May God blesses Your Soul.

Lithuanian in Greece. :) I used to work in culture sector. Later I became a Body Control Pilates teacher. Then life drift me to the beautiful Greece. Here I met Simos - my future husband. I live in Greece over 6 years and during this period I became a Mother, I learned Greek language and how to cook delicious Greek food. I like to laugh, I love Nature and books and most of all I appreciate my Freedom and tranquility.
Most of the time you may meet me on the shore: answering your questions, making bookings and just taking care of business details.
