Between the dives you can swim or sit in the sun while a small lunch is served on the boat. Session diving equipment is included as briefed on board. We collect you from Side hotels and return you there after the second dive. Whether you are trying scuba for the first time or already have hours in the water, you are welcome, and the whole day lasts about seven hours. 📌 Key Details Duration: 7 hours including transfers Dives: Two, about 20 minutes each Group size: 1 to 15 Pickup and return: Side hotels Meal: Small lunch on the boat between dives 🤿 What to Expect Your instructors brief equipment, basic underwater signs and safety at the boat before anyone enters the water, so you get familiar with the kit you'll use. The first dive lasts about 20 minutes. Between dives you can swim or sit in the sun while a small lunch is served on board; you are asked not to eat a large meal because you dive again afterwards. The second dive is another 20 minutes underwater. Your instructors choose sites and depths on the day rather than offering a wreck list you can pick from a menu. No scuba experience or certification is needed to join us, and if you already dive we are just as glad to have you. If you hold a certificate, say so in the notes so the team can place you. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, soft shoes for the boat and a dry change for the return. Keep lunch small before the second dive. Photos or video sold on the boat are not included. Leave spare phones in the hotel if you cannot waterproof them for the boat. 📍 Location This day is based in Side. We collect you from Side hotels and return you there after the second dive. Instructors wait at the boat for the briefing after the hotel run. You should feel comfortable in the sea and be happy following your instructor's hand signs once you are underwater. We'll confirm pickup and return times closer to the day, and we drop you back at the Side hotel after the second 20-minute dive. Notes can flag a later pickup if you have an evening plan after the boat returns. ✅ Prerequisites No scuba experience or certification is needed. First-time divers are welcome, and so are people who already know their way around a regulator. What matters most is that you feel comfortable in the sea and can follow your instructor's signs once you are underwater, so the briefing… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup from Side Boat trip with instructor briefing on kit, signs and safety Two dives of about 20 minutes each Diving equipment as briefed on the boat Small lunch on board between dives Hotel drop-off after the second dive ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point if you are not using the included hotel pickup Drinks Personal expenses Photos or video sold on the boat Gratuities ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### How many dives are included? You'll make two dives of about 20 minutes each, from Side hotels, on a seven-hour day. Group size is 1 to 15. The day includes a boat trip, a small lunch on board, hotel pickup and hotel drop-off. Instructors brief kit, signs and safety before the first entry. Your instructors choose sites and depths on the day. Treat the two 20-minute dives as the water time, not as a wreck list you can pick from a menu. Do not eat a large lunch on board, because you dive again afterwards. ### What does the seven-hour day look like? A driver collects you from the Side hotel and takes you to the boat, where instructors brief equipment, basic underwater signs and safety. The first dive is about 20 minutes. After that you can swim or sit in the sun while a small lunch is served. The second dive is another 20 minutes. Then the vehicle returns you to the hotel. Your instructors choose sites on the day. Treat the two 20-minute dives as the water time. We'll confirm pickup and return times closer to the day, including both legs of the Side loop. ### Is lunch included on the boat? A small lunch is included on the boat between dives. We also ask you not to eat a large meal because you dive again afterwards. Write dietary needs in the notes. Do not assume a hotel buffet. Keep lunch small before the second 20-minute dive. A dry change still helps after spray on the Side harbour run, even when the dives go ahead as planned. ### Do I need a diving certificate? No scuba experience or certification is needed. First-time divers are welcome, and so are people who already dive. Instructors brief kit, signs and safety before the first dive, and you should feel comfortable in the sea and be happy following instructor signs underwater. If you already hold a certification, say so in the notes so the team can place you. Depths and sites stay with your instructors on the day rather than being fixed in advance. ### Is diving kit provided? Equipment briefing is part of the meeting at the boat, and you get familiar with the parts of the kit. Session diving equipment is included, and instructors brief kit, signs and safety before anyone enters the water. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a dry change. Leave spare phones in the hotel if you cannot waterproof them for the boat. Soft shoes for the boat help on a running day. ### Does pickup start in Side? Pickup from Side hotels and drop-off back to the hotel are both included. We'll confirm pickup and return times closer to the day, including both legs of the Side loop. You are collected from Side hotels and returned there. Notes can flag a later pickup if you have an evening plan. Wear swimwear under your clothes for the run to the boat. ### Is there a minimum age for the dives? Minimum age is 0 with infants on laps, which refers to the hotel vehicle, not a claim that babies scuba. Ask us which ages may dive before children join the two 20-minute dives. No scuba experience or certification is needed, and you should feel comfortable in the sea and able to follow instructor signs. Raise any water concerns with us before you travel. ### What if the boat cannot leave? Wind and sea can stop a boat. If the boat cannot sail, we'll contact you about moving the date rather than sending you out in unsafe water. The day needs good conditions for the two 20-minute dives from Side harbour. Pack a dry change anyway, because spray on the Side harbour run is common even when the dives go ahead as planned. Soft shoes for the boat still help on a running day. Keep lunch small if the second dive is still ahead. ### What should we bring? Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a dry change cover most people. Soft shoes for the boat help. Keep lunch small before the second dive, because we ask you not to eat a large meal between the two 20-minute dives. Photos sold on the boat are not included. Ask if you want a camera housing rather than assuming it is issued with the scuba kit. Leave spare phones in the hotel if you cannot waterproof them. ### How are pickup times confirmed? We'll confirm pickup and return times closer to the day, rather than locking a fixed time on this page. Collection from Side hotels is included, and drop-off back to the hotel follows the second 20-minute dive. Use the notes for dietary needs, non-swimmers, certification level, or a later pickup if you have an evening plan. That helps the instructors pace the briefing for the two dives without guessing who is on the boat. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/6eabd24d-3871-4266-bb82-878a5278b2d5.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
