Never dived? In Kaş your first breath underwater happens in a sheltered bay, one to one with an instructor. No experience or swimming skills needed. How the day runs, who can dive and what comes next: all on this page.

How it worksA first dive in Kaş is a boat day, not an hourly activity. The flow below follows the program published by Blue Team Diving, the centre we recommend.
You meet on the boat in Kaş Harbour; after a quick hello and a short medical form, the boat leaves at 10:00.
The instructor explains the equipment and the hand signals you'll use underwater, and answers every question.
You practise breathing at standing depth first. No rush; nobody moves on before feeling ready.
About 25 minutes with the instructor within arm's reach at all times. Fish, reef, and that first 'I'm flying' feeling.
After the dive: swimming, sunshine and the sea. The boat is back in the harbour in the afternoon; you spend the day on board.
The question first-timers ask most is about a second dive. If you're diving twice in one day anyway, Blue Team Diving's Basic Diver program makes more sense for most people: the same two dives, but you go home with an internationally recognised SSI card.
Shallow, sheltered and calm sites. Which bay you go to is decided by the centre on the day, based on wind and sea; no specific bay is promised for a specific day.
A sheltered, calm bay: its shallows are the classic for try dives and training, its deeper reaches suit experienced divers. The intricate bottom earned it the nickname 'Stonehenge'.
≈ 3–35 m · All levels
Shallow reefs across the harbour; an easy dive with colourful marine life.
