Vielen Dank für Ihre Empfehlung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen das Taucherlebnis gefallen hat. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem weiteren Abenteuer in Side begrüßen zu dürfen! 🌊😊🐠
Although I was too afraid and couldn't make myself breath underwater the first time, I am giving it another go before I go home. I had a wonderful instructor who was brilliant with me. I have booked it again for 2 days time and will definitely be under the water this time.
Thank you for giving diving another chance! We’re delighted to hear your instructor helped you feel more confident. We can’t wait to welcome you back and celebrate your first underwater adventure! 🌊😊

Absolutely amazing experience. Breathtaking to see the underwater so clearly and ravishing. Would definitely recommend!!!!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you had such an amazing experience and enjoyed the underwater views so much. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again on another tour and wish you a wonderful holiday.
Unfortunately, the tour had to be stopped at short notice due to the bad weather, which was also announced in the forecast for later. We therefore "only" sailed with the ship. (ca. 2 hours, partly due to the high waves an adventure in itself). I.e. the dives did not take place. However, the provider has refunded the full price of the tour, although I have not even requested this. A replacement date was found for the other participants, which unfortunately I cannot attend due to my flight back to DE. ->So here you are treated very fairly. Everyone in the team was very patient and responded to questions very well. The one instructor (I forgot his name unfortunately.. ) can speak German very well Date of the tour on 17.04.2026. On my next holiday in this region, I will again address this organizer.

A Beginner and an Advanced Said both was well received Beginner 2 times about 17 min The advanced was led separately 45 min 2x so all get their money's worth!
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung 😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass sowohl der Anfänger als auch der Fortgeschrittene zufrieden waren. Unser Ziel ist es, jedem Gast – unabhängig vom Erfahrungsniveau – die bestmögliche Betreuung zu bieten. Schön, dass alle auf ihre Kosten gekommen sind. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen! I
We first tried this beginner scuba diving tour in Alanya back in May and loved it, so we joined again now from Side — and it was just as fantastic. The pickup was smooth, the admission fee still felt fair for everything included, and the overall length of the visit was perfect for two relaxed dives and a nice lunch. The atmosphere was calm and enjoyable, not crowded at all, which made the experience even better for beginners. The staff were friendly, patient and made us feel completely safe both times. Definitely the best choice for anyone, especially friends, who want an easy, fun and memorable introduction to diving.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so happy you enjoyed your second diving experience just as much as the first. It’s great to hear everything felt safe, relaxed and memorable. We’d love to welcome you back for more underwater adventures!

We’re delighted that your first diving adventure with us was enjoyable from start to finish — from the on-time pick-up and clear instructions to both dives, swimming breaks, and the tasty lunch. It’s great to hear you enjoyed seeing the fish and felt well taken care of by our team. Thank you for recommending us — we hope to welcome you again for another underwater adventure!
