Scuba Diving from Tosmur

Tosmur occupies one of the most likeable corners of the Alanya coast: a compact, garden-green district wedged between Oba and the mouth of the Dim river, where a palm-shaded promenade follows the beach and apart-hotels sit in quiet streets close to the water. Its trademark is fresh mountain water — the Dim reaches the sea at the district's eastern edge, its riverside restaurants and the Dim Cave filling many a lazy afternoon. If cool, clear water drew you here, the next step is obvious: see what the Mediterranean itself is hiding.

The dive day is built around your hotel. In the morning our driver collects you in Tosmur — the two-way transfer is free, and the exact pickup time is confirmed the evening before — then follows the coast road west past Oba to the dive boat in Alanya harbour, a short drive away. On board the crew fits your equipment and the instructors run a full safety briefing before the first guided dive: a gentle 15–25 minutes at 5–8 metres. A freshly cooked lunch follows on deck, and in the afternoon the second dive drops to 12–13 metres among the caves and rocky reefs off Cleopatra Beach, always in a small group with your instructor.

For Tosmur guests the Alanya scuba diving trip is the natural choice: the boat leaves from the nearest harbour, so almost all of the roughly eight-hour day is spent on and under the water. The €43 price covers everything — both guided dives, tank, regulator, wetsuit, mask and fins, lunch, passenger and diving insurance and the transfer; compare departure points on the prices page. Reserve free online, pay cash or card on the day, and cancel free up to 24 hours before.

No licence is required — most of our guests here are diving for the very first time. Every metre is instructor-led, the shallow morning dive exists precisely to build confidence, and try-dives are open from around age ten, with options for younger children on request. Companions who prefer to stay dry join the boat at a reduced rate, certified divers get their logbook signed and stamped, and our discover scuba diving guide answers everything you might still be wondering.
