Side Scuba Diving & Underwater Museum: Two Boat Dives in the Blue

About this trip

Some days on the water stay with you for a lifetime, and this one begins before the heat of the morning has settled. A comfortable air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your Side hotel and carries you down to our purpose-built dive boat, where the deck is already warming in the early sun. You don't need a single hour of experience to join. Our certified instructors walk everyone through a clear, friendly briefing first: how to breathe through the regulator, the simple hand signals you'll use below the surface, and how your equipment fits. Once you feel calm and ready, you'll head into the water in a small group of just three or four, guided the whole way by a dive master. The day holds two dives. The morning descent is a gentle 5 to 8 meters, giving you 15 to 25 minutes to drift among shimmering fish and coastal marine life. In the afternoon we go deeper, down to 12 or 13 meters, gliding through the sunken sculptures and historic exhibits of Side's Underwater Museum. You'll even hand-feed the curious fish that come to greet you. Between dives there is nothing to do but relax. Prefer to stay near the surface? Snorkel straight from the boat or simply soak up the sun on the spacious deck. A fresh lunch is served on board, certified divers get their logbooks signed and stamped, and beginners can take their very first step toward CMAS certification. When the sea has given all it can, we drive you smoothly back to your hotel.
