1 / 8Kusadasi: Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners w/Instructor incl. Transfer
About this activity
Learn to scuba dive in Kusadasi's pristine Aegean waters with a qualified instructor on this beginner-friendly half-day excursion. Hotel pickup, boat transport, and all instruction are included, making it an accessible introduction to underwater exploration for first-timers.
On this tour you can enjoy scuba diving in the crystal clear water off Kusadasi. You will first be picked up from your hotel in Kusadasi with a minibus service between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM. Then you leave from the harbor towards your dive site. On the way to the first dive site the beginner divers get full instruction for their introduction dives and the experienced divers can choose their equipment and make themselves ready for their first dive.
Experienced divers will enter the water first together with one or two instructors to make their first dive. After that, the beginner divers will make their first dive with an instructor in groups of 2. If you booked as a non-diver you can feel free to swim in the crystal clear water. If you would like a snorkel and mask for yourself all day, you can bring your own or buy one on the boat. When all divers have finished the dive, there is some time left to swim and snorkel before you sail back to Kusadasi. After arriving at the harbor, the minibus service will take you back to your hotel.
