Scuba Diving from Konaklı

Konaklı sits about ten kilometres west of Alanya, a laid-back resort strip where a long beach of sand and pebbles runs beside the coastal road and the green foothills of the Taurus mountains rise close behind the hotels. It is a place built around easy days: breakfast on a terrace, long hours by the water, an evening stroll when the heat softens. And just along the shore lies some of the most interesting diving on this coastline — the caves and rocky reefs of Alanya.

Your dive day begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Konaklı; the two-way transfer is free and included. A short drive brings you to the boat in Alanya, where the crew fits your equipment and the instructors run a full safety briefing before anyone gets wet. The first guided dive stays at a gentle 5–8 metres for 15 to 25 minutes — exactly long enough to find your rhythm underwater. After a freshly prepared lunch on board, the second dive descends to about 13 metres — the ceiling for beginners — where the rocky seascape becomes far more dramatic. By late afternoon the boat is back in port and the transfer returns you to Konaklı. 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.

Guests staying in Konaklı pick the Alanya scuba diving trip because it packs a full eight-hour day at sea into one honest price: €43 covers both guided dives, the complete kit from tank and regulator to wetsuit, mask and fins, lunch, passenger and diving insurance, and the hotel transfer. The dive sites lie in the waters off Cleopatra Beach, among caves and rocky reefs, and from the deck you look up at Alanya Castle crowning its peninsula. Certified divers should bring their logbook — the team signs and stamps every dive. You can compare all our trips on the prices page.

Never dived before? No licence is needed — every dive is guided, and the shallow first dive exists precisely so beginners can settle in; read more about your first discovery dive. Try-dives are possible from around age ten, and companions who prefer to stay dry join the boat as visitors at a reduced rate. Reserve free online, pay on the day in cash or by card, and cancel free of charge up to 24 hours ahead.
