Scuba Diving from Kadriye

Kadriye sits on the Belek stretch of the Turkish Riviera, roughly half an hour east of Antalya, where pine woodland meets a long ribbon of golden sand. Over the years it has grown into one of the coast's most polished addresses: manicured resort grounds, championship golf courses on its doorstep, family water parks and a beachfront that stays pleasantly busy from breakfast until the evening lights come on. It is a place built for comfortable holidays — which makes it the perfect base from which to add one genuinely adventurous day: scuba diving in the Mediterranean.

Your dive day begins with a morning pickup from your hotel and an easy transfer to the harbour in Antalya, where the dive boat is waiting. After a full safety briefing you make your first guided dive on a shallow site of 5–8 metres — a relaxed 15–25 minutes to get comfortable breathing underwater. Back on deck, a fresh lunch is served while the boat moves along the coast. The second dive goes a little deeper, to about 13 metres — the ceiling for beginners — over the reefs, caves and shoals that make Antalya's underwater scenery so rewarding. By early evening you are on the road back to Kadriye. 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.

Divers staying in Kadriye pick the Antalya scuba diving trip (€50, about 8 hours) because everything is taken care of: tank, regulator, wetsuit, mask and fins, lunch on board, plus passenger and diving insurance. You reserve online for free, pay on the day in cash or by card, and can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours ahead — full details on our prices page. One honest note on transfers: Kadriye lies at the edge of our standard pickup zone, so we arrange each pickup individually. Simply enter your hotel while booking, or message us on WhatsApp, and we will confirm your pickup.

No licence? No problem. Both dives are guided, first-timers are warmly welcome, and try-dives are possible from around age 10 — see discover scuba diving for how a first dive works. Friends or family who prefer to stay dry can join the boat as visitors at a reduced rate.
