You step off the minivan in Alanya Harbor and the sea arrives before you — a broad, blue surface that breaks into sunlit pockets around limestone outcrops. Instructors meet the group with calm, practiced brevity; gear is fitted on the dock and the boat eases into a coastline shaped by ancient stones and modern resorts.

Wildlife
History
Alanya’s harbor has been a strategic port since antiquity; the Seljuk castle above the town guarded trade routes and still defines the skyline you’ll see from the boat.
Conservation
Diving here benefits from local rules protecting nesting beaches and discouraging contact with marine life — follow guides’ instructions and use reef‑safe products to minimize impact.

Arrive hydrated and fed
Eat a light breakfast and drink water before pickup — dehydration increases fatigue after long surface intervals and dives.
Bring seasickness prevention
Calm seas can change; take anti‑nausea meds or acupressure bands before boarding if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen and wear a rash guard to protect both skin and marine life from chemical runoff.
Listen to your instructor
Instructors will brief hand signals and emergency procedures — follow them closely, especially during entries and ascents.
Personal mask (fit-tested)
A well‑fitting mask improves comfort and prevents leaks during 45‑minute dives.
Rash guard or short wetsuit
Keeps you warm during surface intervals in spring and protects from sun and chafing.
