Turkey is one of the important places for diving. The reason for this is that the country is surrounded by seas on 3 sides.
So what makes Turkey important in terms of diving?
Turkey's seas are historical sea routes.
Historical sea routes mean that many sunken ships and the precious treasures they carry are under water.
Water temperature of Turkey's seas
The water temperature of the seas never goes below 0 in Turkey. You can dive in any sea in the country, even in winter.
Plenty of scuba diving centers in Turkey
As you know, diving equipment is heavy and not easy to carry. Transporting diving equipment between countries is very expensive. But in Turkey, you can easily rent equipment from diving centers for cheap prices right on the beach.
Diving holidays in Turkey - The underwater museum in Side is the second largest in the world after the museum in Mexico. There are just over a hundred exhibits divided into 5 thematic zones. The material of the sculptures is made of environmentally friendly materials and later Turkish scientists predict the formation of a reef at this place.
The underwater museum in Side
The underwater museum in Side was opened in 2015 and with each tourist season the number of its visitors grows exponentially. Exhibits are placed at a depth of 5 to 25 meters, which is an ideal option for both beginners and experienced divers. In the future, the Turkish government plans to open similar museums in Alanya and Kemer to attract as many tourists for whom diving is a way of life.
You can get to the underwater museum as part of the Side scuba diving tour. During the summer months, the tour takes place daily. The tour program includes two dives of 30 minutes each. If you are vacationing with children, the minimum age of a diving child must be at least 9 years. Or he can go with you for company and snorkel. This is no less interesting and absolutely safe. The presence of a life jacket will simplify the task of being on the water.
