Alanya diving tour is a 9-hour excursion for first-timers and professionals with two dives to see the colourful underwater life of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you have never dived before, don’t worry; experienced instructors will accompany you and help you quickly get the hang of it. You will be separated into groups and have a personal instructor for your group. You’ll be under the instructor’s watchful eye at all times. Diving depths range from 5m to 10m for beginners.
If you are a professional diver with a license, you will dive with an individual instructor away from the group. The dives for the professional divers are deeper and longer (up to 40-45 minutes on each dive and up to 30 meters).
If you are not up to diving, you are welcome to come to the boat as a non-diver and can snorkel or have a good time swimming and sunbathing.

As a first time diver, the first dive was a little scary but exciting. Second dive was surreal. We can’t thank team enough for an unforgettable day!
While waiting for my second dive I snorkelled in crystal clear waters, very calm experience. Captain’s choice of dive spots was great. Loved every moment in Alanya with this dive team!
My first scuba diving experience in Alanya was amazing! Dive to 10 meters was thrilling, and professional divers made me feel safe throughout. Highly recommend this program for both beginners and experienced divers!
Lunch on boat was unexpectedly delicious! Chicken BBQ, spaghetti and salad hit spot after an exciting dive. Crew was friendly and whole day was well organised. Can’t wait to bring my friends next time!
I was a bit nervous, but diving program exceeded my expectations. 12 meter dive was fantastic and crew was so supportive. Special shoutout to instructors for making my first dive memorable.
