What shall I bring with me?

Nothing - other than your swim suit and your towel. We will provide you with all the necessary equipment.

I want my buddies to come along but they will not dive!

Of course they can come too. While you are diving, they can enjoy the sun and the sea on our comfortable boat. However, please note that although very rarely, sometimes our boat gets crowded and we have to limit the number of non-divers on board. Therefore, please contact us ahead of time to secure a spot on the boat for your non-diver friends. Also, please note that we are a baby/child friendly boat.

Will I dive alone?

One of our experienced Dive Leaders will be with you on a one-to-one basis throughout your time underwater. You will be suprised how easy it is to communicate with your dive leader using the hand signals he/she will be teaching you before the dive.

How deep shall I dive?

According to the regulations set by the Turkish Underwater Sports Federation, the maximum depth allowed during a discovery dive is 5 meters.
