The experience
Scuba diving from Belek is built for people who have never breathed underwater before. There is no classroom, no exam and no certificate to earn; instead an instructor stays within arm's reach for the whole of each dive, so you can concentrate on the fish and the light rather than the equipment. The day runs every day between 09:00 and 16:00 and costs £20 per diver, with lunch, gear, insurance and the hotel transfer already inside that figure. Anyone aged 10 or over in reasonable health can take part, and friends or family who would rather watch from the deck can come along as passengers for £17.
The bus leaves Belek at 09:00 and follows the coast west past Antalya to Kemer Marina, where the yacht is waiting. A short sail brings you to Kirish Aquarium Bay, a sheltered cove where the instructor fits your gear, explains the hand signals and takes you down to roughly 6 metres for 15 to 20 minutes. Back on board there is time to swim, snorkel with the mask and fins provided, and eat a Turkish lunch. The second dive is at Kirish Cave Bay, where the seabed drops to between 12 and 18 metres. The boat returns to the marina and the bus has you at your hotel around 16:00.

Good to know
Wear your swimsuit under your clothes so the first briefing is not delayed, and pack a towel, sun cream and sunglasses for the deck. The best months are May to September, when the surface water sits between 21 and 28 degrees. The minimum age is 10 and there is no exception for confident younger swimmers, and pregnant women cannot dive. Divers over 120 kg should let the instructor know in advance. You do not need to be a strong swimmer, though being comfortable in water helps. Certified divers should bring their card if they want deeper sites such as the Pati wreck.
What to bring
- Swimwear worn under your clothes
- Towel
- Sun cream
- Sunglasses
- International diving certificate if you already hold one
- A little cash for drinks and the photo and video service

Frequently asked questions
How much does scuba diving from Belek cost in 2026?
A diver pays £20 per person, and that covers the bus transfer from your hotel, insurance, the instructor, all diving equipment and lunch on the yacht. Someone who wants to join the boat without diving pays £17 as a passenger. There is no child rate because under-10s cannot dive. Drinks and the photo and video service are extra and paid on board. You pay in cash on the day.
How long does the diving day last, and how long am I actually underwater?
Allow the full window from 09:00 to 16:00, roughly seven hours door to door including the drive to Kemer and back. Each of the two dives lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, which is plenty for a first experience, and the rest of the day is spent on the yacht swimming, snorkelling and eating lunch. The tour runs every day of the week.
Can children dive, and are there any health restrictions?
The minimum age is 10 and it is applied strictly, so younger children cannot dive; if you would like to bring one along as a non-diving passenger, ask us on WhatsApp first so we can check with the boat. Pregnant women are not allowed to dive. There is no fixed weight limit, but anyone over 120 kg should speak to the instructor beforehand. You do not need to be an accomplished swimmer, only relaxed in the water.
Where does the pickup happen, and how do I get to Kemer Marina?
The bus collects you from your hotel in Belek, Kadriye or Boğazkent and drives the coast road to Kemer Marina, where the yacht departs. Give us your hotel name when you book and we confirm the meeting point, normally the main entrance, plus your pickup time on WhatsApp the evening before. The same bus brings you back after the boat docks, arriving around 16:00.
What if I need to cancel, or the sea is too rough?
Message us on WhatsApp as soon as your plans change and we will move you to another date; the tour runs daily, so there is usually a free slot. Nothing is charged in advance because payment is in cash on the day. If the captain decides conditions are unsafe for diving, the trip is postponed and we rebook you at no extra cost.
What should I bring, and do I need a diving licence?
No licence or previous experience is needed for the guided dives, because an instructor is with you the entire time. Bring a swimsuit, towel, sun cream and sunglasses; all the diving equipment is supplied. If you already hold a certification, bring the international card so the instructor can take you to deeper spots. A little cash covers drinks and the optional photo and video service.
