Do I need previous diving experience?

No. This course is designed for complete beginners. Your dive master will teach you all essential skills—breathing underwater, buoyancy control, and safety procedures—before you dive.

What's included in the 7-hour experience?

Typically: classroom or boat-based theory session, equipment fitting, confined-water training (if applicable), and guided open-water dives to observe coral and marine life. Times vary; confirm with your operator.

Will I see coral reefs and fish?

Yes. Marmaris and Icmeler sites feature healthy coral formations and colourful Mediterranean fish species. Visibility is usually excellent in season, making it ideal for beginners to enjoy the underwater landscape.

Swimwear, towel, sunscreen, and any personal medications. Dive equipment (wetsuit, tank, BCD, weights) is provided. Bring a light jacket for the boat and a waterproof bag for valuables.

Is this safe for beginners?

Yes. All dives are led by qualified, experienced dive masters who prioritise safety. You'll stay close to your instructor, dive at shallow, protected depths, and follow strict protocols.

Will I earn a diving certification?

Many beginner courses lead to an entry-level certification (e.g., Open Water). Confirm with the operator whether certification is included or if additional coursework/fees apply.
