About the Side Scuba Diving Tour
Scuba diving from Side Harbour is an easy way to discover the Mediterranean. You sail out on a comfortable boat to calm, shallow dive sites off Side, where rocky reefs, sea grass and fish wait beneath the turquoise water. It suits first-time divers as well as certified divers.
Two guided dives fill the day: beginner dives stay shallow, down to about 5 metres, and last roughly 20 to 30 minutes each, with time on deck in between. Family members who prefer not to dive are welcome too and can snorkel from the boat.
Combine it with another tour
Pair your dive day with a very different adventure: the Green Canyon boat tour for a day on the lake, or a jeep safari in the forest.
