Dive Sites FAQ

About the sites

Where do first dives take place?
At sheltered, shallow, calm sites: Aquarium Bay and Dalyan Bay are the Fethiye classics. They're the safest and most enjoyable waters for a first dive; the exact bay is confirmed with the day's program.
What level do the wall dives need?
Walls like Afkule are for certified divers and call for depth and current management. With an Open Water card the dive is planned at a suitable depth with a guide. Tell us your level and we'll clear it with the centre.
How is the visibility?
Fethiye is known for some of Türkiye's clearest water; in season visibility is very good most days. Still, the sea is the sea, and conditions vary day to day.
Can I choose the site in advance?
Do tell us your wishes; we pass them to the partner centre with your request. For your safety, the final call is made by the centre based on wind and sea; no specific site is promised for a specific day.
