Kemer sits on one of the most dramatic stretches of the Turkish Mediterranean — pine-covered mountains dropping straight into deep, clear blue water. If you are staying anywhere along the Kemer coast and would rather spend a day underwater than on a sunbed, this page is our honest answer to the question we hear most often: which trip should I book? We are Side Diving · Atalay Hoba, and we only rank the trips we actually run ourselves — so you will find two picks here, not twenty.
Our ranking method is simple and transparent. Every one of our boat diving days includes the same core package: two guided dives (a morning dive at 5–8 m for 15–25 minutes and a deeper afternoon dive to 12–13 m), all equipment, a fresh lunch on board, free two-way hotel transfer, passenger and diving insurance, and a full safety briefing. So we ranked on what actually differs — the underwater scenery, the length of the day, and the price. Beginners are welcome on both trips without any licence, and certified divers get their logbooks signed and stamped.
The result: the Kemer trip takes first place for anyone based on this coast — PADI-certified instructors, reef fish, octopus and striking rock formations for €43, with morning pickup from your hotel. The Antalya day is our runner-up for divers who want a bigger outing with reefs, caves and shoals. Compare full details on our prices page, or message us for current availability — reserving online is free and you pay on the day.
The obvious first choice if you are staying in Kemer: an 8-hour boat day for €43 with no long transfer, led by PADI-certified instructors. Between the two guided dives you can expect reef fish, octopus and striking rock formations, and everything — equipment, fresh lunch on board, hotel pickup and insurance — is included. Beginners can join without a licence.
Our runner-up for the Kemer coast is the Antalya trip: also a full 8-hour day, but with reefs, caves and shoals on the programme for €50. It follows the same format — two guided dives, all equipment, lunch on board and free two-way hotel transfer — so it suits divers who want a change of underwater scenery for a bigger day out.
No. Beginners are welcome on both trips without any certification. You get a full safety briefing, and both guided dives are led by instructors — the morning dive stays at 5–8 m for 15–25 minutes, the afternoon dive goes to 12–13 m. Try-dives are possible from around age 10.
Both trips include two guided dives, all equipment (tank, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins), a fresh lunch on board, free two-way hotel transfer, passenger and diving insurance, and the safety briefing. You reserve free online and pay on the day by cash or card, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Non-divers can join the boat trip at a reduced rate and enjoy the day on the water. Diving itself is not possible during pregnancy or with severe asthma, heart or respiratory conditions, and you should not fly within 24 hours after diving. If you are unsure, message us before booking.
