The boat eases away from Side’s low stone harbor and the Mediterranean opens like a held breath. Sun slides across glassy water as the crew runs through kit and signals; within an hour divers are slipping beneath a blue that seems to push back only to welcome. Fish thread through rock gardens and coral outcrops while ruined walls—remnants of an ancient coastline—peer up from sandy drops.

A towel and change of clothes make surface intervals and post-dive comfort easier.
Mask, snorkel, fins (personal)
Personal fit reduces fogging and improves comfort—even though equipment rental is provided.
Compact underwater camera or housing
