## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts)

### Highlights
Discover the Side coast underwater on a full-day scuba and snorkel boat trip with hotel pickup, two dive sites, lunch on board, and certified instructors who welcome first-timers and qualified divers on the same outing. 📋 Key Details Duration: Around 6 hours including transfer and boat day Group size: Typically up to 15 on the boat Minimum age: 14+ for scuba (snorkel options may vary) Meeting: Hotel pickup in Side and Manavgat for most stays Difficulty: Beginner-friendly introductory dives available 🏞️ What to Expect After hotel pickup you board a day boat and cruise along the Side coastline toward the first dive site. Beginners receive a skills briefing and shallow-water introduction with an instructor before the open-water dive; certified divers kit up for a guided reef dive. Lunch is served on board between sites, with time to relax, snorkel, or sunbathe as the crew moves to the second location. The afternoon dive follows a similar pattern before the boat turns back toward harbour and your return transfer. 📍 Location Side and Manavgat sit on a classic Turkish Riviera stretch where ancient ruins meet pine-backed beaches and clear Mediterranean water. Underwater, rocky reefs, small caves, and steady visibility make this one of the most accessible dive coasts east of Antalya. Boat-based diving here means you reach two different sites in one day without long drives. Surface intervals happen with coastal and mountain views rather than in a busy harbour car park. ✅ Prerequisites Introductory divers need no certification but must be comfortable in water and able to follow briefing instructions. Certified divers should bring proof of qualification and log recent dives if asked. Complete medical forms honestly and avoid diving if you are pregnant, unwell, or planning to fly within the recommended window after scuba. Tell the team about ear, sinus, or asthma issues before you board. 🌟 Why Choose Us PADI and CMAS-certified instructors run both beginner introductions and guided dives for qualified guests on the same boat day, so mixed groups can travel together. Two sites and lunch on board make efficient use of a single day off the beach. Hotel pickup across Side and Manavgat removes harbour logistics. You focus on the water while the crew handles tanks, boat routing, and safety oversight.

## FAQs

### What is the minimum age for scuba diving?

The minimum age is 14 for scuba diving on this trip. Snorkelling may be possible for younger family members depending on boat rules; confirm with the team when you enquire. All divers must complete medical and safety paperwork honestly. Tell the team about any health conditions before you travel.

### Can beginners try scuba diving?

Yes for introductory dives under direct instructor supervision. First-timers receive a pool or shallow-water skills session before the open-water dive at the first site. Certified divers can join regular guided dives at both sites. Bring your certification card and logbook if you have them.

### How does hotel transfer work?

Hotel pickup and transfer are included for most stays in Side, Manavgat, and nearby resort areas. After booking, the team confirms your collection time and takes you to the harbour. If your hotel sits outside the usual pickup zone, you will be told where to meet instead. Bring swimwear, a towel, and sun protection for the full day on the boat.

### How long does the day take?

Plan for around 6 hours including transfer, boat cruise, two dive stops, lunch, and return. Exact timing depends on sea conditions and how long each site takes. Arrive rested, avoid heavy alcohol the night before, and allow time after diving before flying if you have a flight soon after the trip.

### Where do we dive?

The boat visits two dive sites along the Side coast with clear Mediterranean water and rocky reef structure. Certified divers explore with guides; beginners follow an instructor on an introductory route. Snorkellers can swim from the boat at suitable stops. Visibility and conditions vary by season and weather on the day.

### What happens if sea conditions are poor?

Diving needs calm seas and acceptable visibility. If conditions are unsafe, the team will be in touch and may reschedule or adjust the route rather than force an open-water dive. Check your messages the evening before. Wind and swell can change quickly along this stretch of coast.

### What is included?

The day typically includes hotel transfer for most Side and Manavgat stays, boat trip, two guided dive stops, scuba equipment for divers, lunch on board, and instructor supervision. Personal travel insurance, optional underwater photo or video packages, wetsuit hire if needed in cooler months, and tips are usually left to you.

### Can non-divers snorkel instead?

Snorkelling is usually available for non-divers on the boat when conditions allow. You can swim and float at the surface while divers are below, subject to crew guidance. Tell the team your mix of divers and snorkellers when you enquire so they can confirm space and supervision on board.

### Are there medical requirements?

You should be comfortable swimming in open water and able to equalise ear pressure. Complete the medical form honestly and disclose asthma, heart conditions, or recent surgery. Pregnancy, certain medications, and flying soon after diving are not compatible with scuba. Ask the team if you are unsure about fitness to dive.

### Is this suitable for first-time divers?

Yes for anyone curious about the underwater Mediterranean who meets age and health requirements. Introductory dives stay shallow with an instructor at arm's length. Certified divers get two guided sites in one efficient day trip rather than organising their own boat and tanks.
