Top Rated
Let's be upfront about how this ranking works: we run five full-day boat dive trips along the Turkish Riviera, but only one of them descends over the sunken sculptures of the Underwater Museum near Side. That makes this list short and honest — a single pick, ranked first because nothing else in our programme offers the same seabed. Instead of padding the page with filler, we'll explain exactly what earns this trip its flagship status and who it suits best.
The format is the same proven full-day structure we use along the whole coast: a morning pickup from your hotel, a first guided dive at 5–8 metres for 15–25 minutes to find your fins, a fresh lunch on board, then an afternoon dive down to about 13 metres — 13 metres is the beginner ceiling, while certified divers dive the real profiles from the same boats: around 30 metres on a standard certified dive and down to 60 metres on the deep sites, subject to qualification level and conditions. What changes here is the scenery — silent sculptures rising from the sand — and the attention: groups are kept to just three or four divers per instructor. You can hand-feed the fish that gather around the site, and complete beginners are welcome with no licence needed; every dive is guided, with all equipment, insurance and a full safety briefing included.
At €45 for a seven-hour day it also happens to be excellent value — see the full comparison on our prices page. Reservations are free online and you pay on the day in cash or by card, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the trip. Never dived before?

The only trip in our programme that dives over the sunken-sculpture Underwater Museum, with two guided dives (for beginners 5–8 m in the morning and about 13 m in the afternoon) and groups of just 3–4 divers per instructor. All equipment, two-way hotel transfer, fresh lunch on board and insurance are included for €45, and beginners can join without a licence. Certified divers get their logbook signed and stamped.
No. As a beginner both dives are guided at beginner-friendly depths — 5–8 metres in the morning and about 13 metres in the afternoon, the beginner ceiling — with a full safety briefing and all equipment included. Certified divers dive deeper from the same boats: around 30 metres on a standard certified dive and down to 60 metres on the deep sites, depending on qualification level and conditions. Try-dives are possible from around age 10, and certified divers are equally welcome and get their logbook signed and stamped.
Yes. Non-divers can join as boat visitors at a reduced rate and still enjoy the cruise, the fresh lunch on board and the free two-way hotel transfer.
