Board a small dive boat in the Bay of Kiriş and make two supervised beginner dives (5–7 m) amid rocky reefs and coastal pine slopes. This half-day trip includes equipment, lunch, and a short certification on completion.

The boat slips loose from the quay and the Mediterranean opens like a cool, salt-stung sheet. Wind pulls at your mask strap; sea spray stings your cheeks. Off the Bay of Kiriş, trainers check gear while the coastline of Kemer slides by — pine-covered slopes giving way to limestone outcrops and rocky reefs where fish thread the crags.

The Antalya coast has been a maritime corridor since antiquity; small bays like Kiriş served as sheltered anchorages for Roman and Ottoman coastal trade.
Conservation
Stay with licensed operators who use moorings rather than anchors to protect seabed habitats and follow local rules on reef-safe sunscreen and no-touch policies.

Equalize early and often
Descend slowly and equalize (swallow or Valsalva) as soon as you feel pressure to prevent ear pain during shallow dives.
Protect your skin between dives
Use a long-sleeve UV shirt on deck and reapply reef-safe sunscreen during surface intervals to stay comfortable in Mediterranean sun.
Manage motion sickness
If you get seasick, take a preventative (non-drowsy) medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where movement is gentler.
Keep valuables dry
Bring a small dry bag or leave electronics ashore — boats have limited secure storage and salt spray is constant.
Swimwear and rash guard
Quick-dry swimwear and a UV shirt keep you protected on deck and reduce sun exposure between dives.

Towel and change of clothes
A large towel and dry clothes for the return journey keep you warm and comfortable after dives.
Light seasickness remedy
Non-drowsy medication or wrist bands help if you are prone to motion sickness on open water trips.
Small dry bag or waterproof phone case
Protect documents and electronics from spray and splashes while on the boat.
