Decide

Which region and which program fits you?

The four questions we get most, answered honestly. Still unsure? Message us and we'll pick together.

Never dived?

Start with a scuba dive

No experience or swimming skills needed; after a short briefing you dive one to one with an instructor. What you want is a shallow, sheltered, calm bay, and that is exactly what Fethiye offers.

Already certified?

Join a day trip

A full boat day: two dives at two different sites. If you're after walls and wrecks, the region you choose really does change the day.

See the day trip

After a licence?

Understand the course first, then pick the place

Which levels exist, how SSI, PADI and CMAS differ, how many days it takes, where the card is valid. These are region-independent questions; settle them first.

Can't pick a region?

Here is the difference

Fethiye's sheltered bays and calm water suit first dives and training; there, we connect you with a partner centre. Kaş, with the C-47 Dakota plane wreck and the Canyon, is a certified diver's favourite; our Kaş guide introduces you directly to the local dive centre. Tell us where you're staying and your level, and we'll pick the region together.

How It Works

Into the water in three steps

1. Call or message: tell us your dates, group size and what you'd like to do.
2. We listen and advise: the best-fitting partner centre for your level and plan, brand-neutrally.
3. Meet your centre: we pass your request to the centre, the centre reserves your spot, and we send you the meeting time and what to bring. On the day, just show up.

Partner Centre Standard

We don't work with every centre; here's our bar

Diamond Center is the highest official partnership level SSI (Scuba Schools International) awards to a dive centre; only a small number of centres meet its top standards across training quality, service, safety and regular activity. In every region it works in, Maceraya partners only with centres at this level: SSI Diamond or the equivalent standard in the PADI/CMAS systems. If we send you to a centre, it's because it clears that bar.

Why Maceraya

Your guide and secretariat

We don't run the dives; bookings and payments happen directly with the centre. We connect you with the right one, follow up on the planning and stay your single point of contact.

One Point of Contact

One number instead of messaging a dozen companies: tell us your plan, we handle the rest.

Vetted Partner Centres

We only work with high-standard centres: SSI Diamond level and equivalents.

Brand-Neutral Advice

SSI, PADI, CMAS: we're tied to no brand; we recommend what fits your plan.

Completely Free for You

Our information and guidance service is free; you pay the dive centre directly. If weather cancels, we coordinate the new plan with the centre.

FAQ

Diving: Good to Know

Do I need to know how to swim?

For a first dive you don't need to be a strong swimmer; your instructor stays with you one-to-one. Being comfortable in the water is enough.

I have no experience. Can I still dive?

Yes. On a first dive you dive safely with an instructor after a short briefing. We route you to a centre that's great with first-timers.

How much does diving cost?

The price depends on your dates, group size and program, so instead of a fixed number on the page we send the exact quote for your dates on WhatsApp within minutes, with the inclusions confirmed in writing.

Is equipment included in the price?

Yes. In every program we arrange, all dive equipment, the boat and the instructor are included. Just bring your swimsuit, a towel and sunscreen.

What do I gain through Maceraya, and is there any extra fee?

No extra fee: our information and guidance service is completely free for you; you pay the dive centre directly. What you gain is time and fit: you explain your plan once, we suggest the right centre and coordinate any changes with it.

Is there an age limit or medical requirement?

Centres apply minimum-age rules and a short medical form is filled in before diving. Tell us in advance about conditions like asthma or heart problems; we'll check with the right centre.

Will my certificate be recognised worldwide?

Yes. SSI, PADI and CMAS entry certifications are internationally valid and accepted at dive centres worldwide.
