Unforgettable First Dive in Alanya This May!
In May we joined the beginner scuba diving tour in Alanya — and what an experience it was! From the transfer and welcome lunch to our dives, everything felt perfectly organized and included, making the admission fee excellent value. The length of the visit was just right — enough time to dive, learn and relax without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was friendly and light, and thankfully not crowded, so we had plenty of space and attention. The staff were outstanding: supportive, professional and patient with our very first dive. Perfect for anyone wanting a fun, safe, and memorable first underwater adventure with friends!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad your first scuba diving experience in Alanya was fun, safe and unforgettable. It’s great to hear everything felt well-organised and relaxing. We’d love to see you again for more underwater adventures!

An enjoyable day
From the moment we booked we had friendly and professional correspondence oh WhatsApp to confirm our hotel pickup location, then on the day before the time of pickup. We were collected by air-conditioned minibus. The boat wasn't too large and didn't feel crowded at all which was a nice change from previous scuba trips I have done. The first diving spot was only 10 minutes away so nice and easy, and a smaller boat also met us and tied up to us. Our larger boat was for scuba diving and if you wanted to swim in the sea you just hopped over to the smaller boat to do it from there to keep out the way of the dives. Groups were of 4 for diving and I think there were 10 groups on our trip. We swam while we waited for our group to be called. Myself and my 14 year old were diving while my wife and 6 year old just swam in the sea. The first dive was mainly for photos and videos but it was a nice introduction for my son and the amount of fish around us was Incredible. This was helped further when they handed us some food and the fish were feeding from our hand. After all groups had dived we had lunch of chicken nuggets, pasta and salad, with as much bread as we wanted. It was fine. Drinks, sweets and crisps could be purchased. About what you'd expect to pay on a tourist trip 3 Euros for a coke etc. The second dive was about another 10 minutes further. Rinse and repeat of the first stop in terms of format, but no pictures being taken this time and we swam down about 7m and were swimming pretty much continuously until our time was up. Plenty of time for swimming before and after again then back to port. The only real negative was the hard sell to try and make us buy the photos and videos. They wanted 40 Euros for each diver or a deal of 70 Euros for two of us. The lady sounded quite aggressive when I said no so I just walked off rather than arguing in the end. Everything else was very enjoyable. Not the best scuba diving trip I have done but was Very good overall.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re glad you and your family had a great time. Hope to welcome you again on another adventure!

Safe, professional and enjoyable
I went diving while our child hired a snorkel set for €5. Instructions were clear, and the staff were patient and professional. Photos and videos were offered at €40 per person, but we were kindly given a small discount. Overall, a very positive and safe experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback have a great time.

Response from the operator: We're truly sorry to hear that the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations. We always strive to provide clear information about what’s included in the price, and we make every effort to present it transparently on our tour page. That said, we understand that sometimes details can be overlooked, and we're continuously working to improve communication and clarity. We're glad you had the chance to experience diving — for many, it's an unforgettable highlight. We sincerely hope there were also positive moments during your trip that left you with good memories.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alanya.
How much does Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $47 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alanya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alanya is not rushed.
Is Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alanya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alanya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alanya and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alanya Scuba Diving for Beginners Lunch and Hotel Pickup start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alanya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Alanya?
+
On Outty we rank every Alanya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alanya Holiday Photo Shoot – Families, Couples & Solo Travelers, Alanya Jeep Safari, Sapadere Canyon Waterfall ,Dim Stream and Dim Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Alanya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Alanya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
