The boat eases away from Alanya’s harbor and the skyline of a red-tiled castle recedes. Sea spray cools your neck as instructors run through equipment, and the Mediterranean ahead shimmers with promise. Submerging here is immediate—clear blue that hints at cliffs and caverns below—where trained guides choreograph two short, focused dives for beginners.

Arrive Hydrated
Drink water before the boat ride—dehydration increases the risk of decompression discomfort and makes you feel worse on board.
Wear a Rash Guard
A thin rash guard or shorty under the wetsuit adds warmth and protects against sun and chafing when gearing up.
Take Seasickness Precautions
If you’re sensitive, use a patch or pill 1–2 hours before departure; morning departures typically have calmer seas.
Listen Closely to the Briefing
Instructors cover hand signals, buoyancy basics and emergency procedures—pay attention even if you’ve snorkeled before.
Swimwear and rash guard
Wear under the wetsuit for sun protection and quick dry comfort.
