Morning light slants over Side’s harbor as the dive boat hums awake and the sea smells of salt and sun. You board after a hotel pickup, kit already waiting on deck, and the boat eases away from the stone quay toward a shallow, curated dive site billed as the Side underwater museum. The first descent is quiet—bubbles lift, fish dart through seagrass, and the seabed opens into human-made features and natural limestone shelves.

History
Side sits on a site with layered antiquity—Roman and Hellenistic ruins line the coast, and the seabed features often sit near submerged archaeological zones.
Conservation
Operators typically emphasize no-touch diving and avoiding anchors on sensitive seabeds; preserving Posidonia beds and submerged heritage is a local priority.
Reserve your spot on the Side Underwater Museum Scuba Diving with Transfer and Lunch today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive hydrated and fed
Eat a light breakfast and sip water before boarding—diving on an empty stomach or dehydrated increases fatigue and seasickness risk.
Bring your own mask if possible
Operators supply equipment, but a well-fitting personal mask improves comfort and reduces fogging.
Expect boat movement
The boat transfers can be choppy; secure loose items and consider motion-sickness medication if you’re sensitive.
Keep a dive log
If you’re certified, log both dives to track depth and conditions; if not, record your experience and any questions for future training.
Personal dive mask & snorkel
A well-fitting mask improves visibility and comfort during descents and surface intervals
Rash guard or shorty wetsuit
Protects against sun and chafing; a light wetsuit is useful in cooler months or for longer bottom times
summer
