“Ein toller Ausflug mit super Guides! Abholung super Pünktlich! In Side angekommen muss man durch die Stadt runter laufen zu dem tollen Boot! Vor dem Tauchen wurde in sämtlichen Sprachen die Ausrüstung und der Tauchgang erklärt! Jeder Tauchlehrer hat eine Person mit runter genommen zum ersten Test und für Fotos. 15 Minuten Tauchgang. Wenn es Probleme gab oder man Angst bekam waren sie sofort zur Stelle und haben geholfen und waren sehr einfühlsam! Danach gab es Essen und den zweiten Tauchgang. Dieser war tiefer und nur der wollte hat mit gemacht. Bei dem zweiten Tauchgang gibt es keine Fotos was sich aber lohnen würde da es super toll war! Ein…”

“Ich habe Tickets für das Unterwassermuseum beim Tauchen in Side gebucht. Morgens wurde ich gegen 9:00 Uhr vom Bus abgeholt und zu den Toren von Side gebracht. Von dort mussten wir ca. 2 km in der prallen Sonne zum Tauchboot laufen – bei 40 °C sehr anstrengend. Nach kurzer Wartezeit startete das Boot. Beide Tauchgänge waren wirklich schön, die Skulpturen unter Wasser sind beeindruckend. Leider waren die Pausen dazwischen sehr lang und schlecht organisiert. Nach dem zweiten Tauchgang gab es ein einfaches Mittagessen; Getränke waren nicht inklusive (z. B. Eistee für 3 € bzw. plötzlich 4 $ bei Zahlung in Dollar). Die Guides waren freundlich, aber man fühlte sich nicht wirklich willkommen. Der Rü...”
You’ll be collected from your Side hotel, trained by English or Russian-speaking instructors, and taken by boat to two underwater sites. Expect one deeper session, a second shallower session, lunch, swimming time, and optional photos and videos. The museum may be only partly visited.
“The pickup was on time and we were picked up in a nice vehicle. The staff on the boat and the dive were very friendly and helpful, they kept us safe and made us aware of how to signal to them if we were in any difficulties in the water. The first dive was amazing as we could see all the fish. Photos were taken of us by the divers - cost of €50 to get the photos. For the second dive we were offered to pay extra (€20 per person) for a deeper dive with one of the instructors, this was good and we could see more sea life…”
You’ll take two guided scuba sessions off the Antalya coast, first to 6 meters and then to 12 meters, with instruction in English, German, or Russian. Lunch, insurance, and selected hotel transfers are included. Bring water and expect extra charges for drinks, photos, and video.
“An absolutely fantastic day out, whilst I wasn't able to partake as originally planned, my son had an amazing time and said it was the best day of his life. He got to touch the fish, hold the fish, feed the fish and got to sit on the bottom of the sea. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Really good value for money!”
