  The boat ride out was good, but the wait for the first dive was very long. I was in Group 19, and there were 26 groups of 4–5 people, so there were a lot of people on board. Me and my friend waited around 2 hours before our first dive. We went on a discounted day, so I can't guarantee these prices, but we paid €50 total (€25 each), which I thought was great value. From what I know, the normal price is around €100 for 3 people, so roughly €33 per person. Personally, I think the normal price is quite expensive, but the discounted price is definitely worth it. There were two boats joined together, so when the boat was stationary you could walk between them for more space. There's also a bathroom near the food counter—I'm mentioning this because I struggled to find it. The instructors were amazing and made me feel safe throughout. You get two dives, with the first mainly for photos and videos. As a complete beginner and not a strong swimmer, I panicked at first because it felt strange breathing underwater, but the instructor immediately reassured me and would have taken me to the surface if needed. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit another dive site because of the current, but we still saw plenty of fish and marine life. The food was nice enough, and the second dive was much quicker because fewer people chose to do it. My only complaint was the staff fitting the equipment before the dives. My BCD was too loose, my goggles kept letting water in, and before the second dive my BCD wasn't fully inflated. I only noticed because I asked them not to push me into the water until I'd put my regulator in, and they realised it hadn't been inflated properly. As I'm not a strong swimmer, that was quite concerning. My advice is to check your BCD is fully inflated, your goggles fit properly, and all your straps are secure before getting into the water. Despite that issue, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it, especially for first-time divers.

• 5A fab way to spend a day!

  This was my second dive excursion in two days. The instructions and support from the crew was very good and reassuring. The two 20/25 minute dives were special. Our diving instructor was understanding and encouraging. The collection and return to my hotel was very efficient. As someone who is close to 60 years old, it was a really easy and relaxing day. This was definitely worth the money and time.

• 5Great time :-)

  We went for a try dive day and I had a deep dive day because I had a license but my friend didn’t but joined for the boat journey, we had a great time! First dive we fed lots of fishies, and got a nice video :-) ( had to haggle to get a nice deal because original prices were expensive) but we got there :-) and then we had a nice lunch, had a nice sun bath on top deck :-) and went somewhere else for a nice dive :-) second time crew recognised us and they were great both times :-) I had a nice dive and when I got back others were still feeding the fish so we snorkelled and saw lots of fish was great too :-) then my last dive I saw a little octopus which was great :-) you didn’t have to buy the pics/vids if you didn’t want to :-) overall great time and great value for money :-)

• 5Great day!

  Had two great days with this team had a scuba dive experience the first time which was amazing seeing & feeding beautiful fish, staff we're amazingly great! First dive focuses on photos to capture the beautiful moment second dive we chose to go for a deeper dive not so many fish on the second dive however it's fun to be in the sea. Second day my friend did a deeper dive with the guides he has an open water certificate & I had a day on the boat & snorkled while others went on their try dives. Food was great, staff were great & would'nt say they 'pestered' with photos if you wanted them great if not that was great too, photos we're slightly pricey however the trip was alot cheaper then others & they captured special moments! Altogether an amazing two days with this team! Great food, great company, great day! Thank you! :) <3

About Alanya

Alanya is a resort on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, built around a rocky headland crowned by a Seljuk castle, with long beaches and caves below.

Alanya spreads across and around a rocky peninsula that juts into the Mediterranean, with the Taurus Mountains rising steeply behind. The castle that covers the headland dates mainly from the thirteenth century, when the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad made the town a winter capital, and its walls run down to the harbour. The Red Tower, an octagonal tower beside the harbour, and the old shipyard are Seljuk works too.
