Try Scuba Diving Antalya — Two Guided Dives, No Certificate Needed

5.03 yorum

Two guided dives in Çaltıcak Bay, near Rot Island, on a PADI Discover Scuba programme — no certification required, no prior experience needed. The first dive is a shallow orientation at 5–6 metres where your instructor checks your comfort with the regulator and buoyancy. If that goes well, the second dive goes to 10–12 metres where the bay opens up: damselfish schools, octopus in the rocky overhangs, wrasse, and occasional grouper. Your instructor stays with you the entire time — either 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 maximum. The boat is a small dedicated dive boat with shaded deck space. Lunch is served on board between the two dives. All equipment is included — wetsuit, BCD, tank, regulator, fins, mask. The bay is calm and visibility averages 10–15 metres, which makes it a good introduction for people who are genuinely uncertain whether they'll like diving. One important note: do not fly for at least 18 hours after your second dive. If your flight is the same evening, book a different tour. For everyone else, this is a surprisingly affordable way to decide whether diving is going to become a habit.

    Absolutely incredible jeep safari experience! Our guide spoke perfect English and the mountain views were breathtaking. They picked us up right from our hotel lobby — so convenient!

    Best tour of our entire trip to Turkey! The jeep convoy through the Taurus Mountains was such a rush. Our kids (8 and 11) absolutely loved the waterfall stop and the village lunch. The guides were super attentive and made sure everyone was safe.

    The Old City and Düden Waterfall tour was simply stunning. Hadrian's Gate and the Kaleiçi streets were unlike anything I'd seen. Our driver was friendly and the tour was perfectly organised from start to finish.
