“Great experience for first time divers. instructors were brilliant, although I spent roughly 5/7 min underwater even though they said would be 15 minutes. however, there were a lot of people so we would take double the time, for longer diving I would advise to go to a smaller group or 1 to 1. for me was perfect because was my first time and had fun and surpassed my expectations.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 158 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $35

Join a supervised Kemer scuba excursion from Antalya or Lara Beach, with hotel pickup, basic instruction, equipment, lunch, and two underwater sessions of up to 20 minutes each. Beginners are welcome, but transport timing, simple food, and extra drink or photo costs deserve attention.

“The only good thing about this whole experience was the dive itself. The instructors were nice and knowledgeable about diving. Felt safe under the water. The diving spot was very underwhelming. There was barely any fish and absolutely no coral, unlike what the pictures show. We were promised two dives, on two different locations. We ended up just diving twice in the same location, so got to see very little. The lunch was very bad, we got a burger with some chips. The burger itself had no sauces and was very dry. It could be very easily improved. No drinks were included. The shuttle buses were late and what was…”

“One of the best activities I did in Marmaris. The guide was very helpful and very caring about our safety. They won't let you go dive until they know you're good to go. The diving experience is undescribable, and if you feel like not diving anymore, you can still have a nice swim. Very well maintained equipment and the crew was very friendly.”

The museum sits 5 to 6 meters below the Mediterranean, and your $50 package includes hotel pickup, equipment, instruction, insurance, snorkeling gear, and lunch on the boat.

“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...”

“For context, we were 3 people, 2 divers, and a non-diver (my pregnant wife). I also messaged on Viator to let them know my wife is pregnant. It's clear that because I've told them I will be requesting a refund they have contacted Viator and provided false information. Please note that this is not a reflection of the staff who operated the tour. In the attached pictures, you'll see the full WhatsApp conversation that I had with them in which I told them that my wife is pregnant, that she will be a non-diver, and that we specifically chose this one as it had a maximum number of travellers of…”
