Scuba Diving from Çamyuva

Çamyuva sits just south of Kemer, where the pine forests of the Taurus Mountains run almost to the water's edge — the name itself means "pine nest" in Turkish. It is one of the quieter corners of the Kemer coastline: a relaxed strip of resort hotels and shaded gardens facing a calm, clear bay, with steep green ridges rising directly behind the beach. Guests come here to unwind rather than to party, which makes it a natural base for a day that swaps the sunbed for a dive boat.

Your dive day begins with a morning pickup from your Çamyuva hotel; the drive to the boat in neighbouring Kemer is short, so you spend the day on the water rather than on the road. On board, PADI-certified instructors run a full safety briefing before the first guided dive at a gentle 5–8 metres, lasting 15–25 minutes. A fresh lunch is served on deck as the boat cruises the coast, and in the afternoon you descend again to about 13 metres — the beginner ceiling, always beside your instructor — where rock formations shelter reef fish and, with a little luck, an octopus. Tank, regulator, wetsuit, mask and fins are all provided, and passenger and diving insurance is included. Certified divers dive the real profiles from the same boats: around 30 metres on standard certified dives, and down to 60 metres on the deep sites for suitably qualified divers.

For divers staying in Çamyuva, the Kemer scuba diving trip is the obvious choice: the full eight-hour day costs €43 with the two-way hotel transfer already included, so there is no taxi maths and no hidden extras. You reserve your place free online and pay on the day, in cash or by card, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Compare all our trips on the prices page, and message us for current availability.

No licence or previous experience is needed — both dives are guided, and try-dives are open from around age ten, so families can share the day. Friends or partners who prefer to stay dry can join as boat guests at a reduced rate and enjoy the cruise and lunch.
