Two guided dives off the Lycian coast let beginners and experienced divers explore drop-offs, caverns and 3,000-year-old amphoras in crystalline Aegean water. The tour includes gear, instruction, lunch and hotel transfers — ideal for an accessible day of underwater discovery.

The boat slips away from the quay and the Aegean opens like a page of blue. Light fractures through the surface and the captain points to a steep drop-off; the sea seems to breathe, inviting you over the rail. You gear up on deck with an instructor at your side and the first swell of salt on your face feels like permission to go deeper.

Hydrate before you dive
Drink water the morning of your dive and avoid heavy alcohol the night before — dehydration worsens nitrogen effects and seasickness.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sun is strong on open decks; use reef-safe SPF to protect skin and marine life during surface intervals.
Pack a light wind layer
It can be cool on the boat after dives — a thin jacket or fleece prevents chills between surface intervals.
Tell instructors about medical issues
Disclose recent surgery, back problems, or pregnancy; operators will refuse diving where it’s unsafe and offer alternatives.
Swimsuit
Worn under your wetsuit or underclothes for comfort on the boat and in the water.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the local marine environment during surface intervals.
