    super

    The boat ride out was good, but the wait for the first dive was very long. I was in Group 19, and there were 26 groups of 4–5 people, so there were a lot of people on board. Me and my friend waited around 2 hours before our first dive. We went on a discounted day, so I can't guarantee these prices, but we paid €50 total (€25 each), which I thought was great value. From what I know, the normal price is around €100 for 3 people, so roughly €33 per person. Personally, I think the normal price is quite expensive, but the discounted price is definitely worth it. There were two boats joined together, so when the boat was stationary you could walk between them for more space. There's also a bathroom near the food counter—I'm mentioning this because I struggled to find it. The instructors were amazing and made me feel safe throughout. You get two dives, with the first mainly for photos and videos. As a complete beginner and not a strong swimmer, I panicked at first because it felt strange breathing underwater, but the instructor immediately reassured me and would have taken me to the surface if needed. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit another dive site because of the current, but we still saw plenty of fish and marine life. The food was nice enough, and the second dive was much quicker because fewer people chose to do it. My only complaint was the staff fitting the equipment before the dives. My BCD was too loose, my goggles kept letting water in, and before the second dive my BCD wasn't fully inflated. I only noticed because I asked them not to push me into the water until I'd put my regulator in, and they realised it hadn't been inflated properly. As I'm not a strong swimmer, that was quite concerning. My advice is to check your BCD is fully inflated, your goggles fit properly, and all your straps are secure before getting into the water. Despite that issue, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend it, especially for first-time divers.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you felt safe with our diving instructors and that you enjoyed the overall experience. On busy days, dive groups enter the water one by one to ensure every guest can dive safely. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the equipment preparation, and we will share it with our diving team. Safety is always our highest priority. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you again on one of our tours.

    A fab way to spend a day!

    This was my second dive excursion in two days. The instructions and support from the crew was very good and reassuring. The two 20/25 minute dives were special. Our diving instructor was understanding and encouraging. The collection and return to my hotel was very efficient. As someone who is close to 60 years old, it was a really easy and relaxing day. This was definitely worth the money and time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your diving experience and were satisfied with our instructor and crew. We are also pleased that our transfer service met your expectations. We hope to welcome you again on one of our tours.

    Great time :-)

    We went for a try dive day and I had a deep dive day because I had a license but my friend didn’t but joined for the boat journey, we had a great time! First dive we fed lots of fishies, and got a nice video :-) ( had to haggle to get a nice deal because original prices were expensive) but we got there :-) and then we had a nice lunch, had a nice sun bath on top deck :-) and went somewhere else for a nice dive :-) second time crew recognised us and they were great both times :-) I had a nice dive and when I got back others were still feeding the fish so we snorkelled and saw lots of fish was great too :-) then my last dive I saw a little octopus which was great :-) you didn’t have to buy the pics/vids if you didn’t want to :-) overall great time and great value for money :-)

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely and detailed review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed both the diving experience and the time on the boat. It’s great that you returned for another trip with the team and left with such nice memories.

    Great day!

    Had two great days with this team had a scuba dive experience the first time which was amazing seeing & feeding beautiful fish, staff we're amazingly great! First dive focuses on photos to capture the beautiful moment second dive we chose to go for a deeper dive not so many fish on the second dive however it's fun to be in the sea. Second day my friend did a deeper dive with the guides he has an open water certificate & I had a day on the boat & snorkled while others went on their try dives. Food was great, staff were great & would'nt say they 'pestered' with photos if you wanted them great if not that was great too, photos we're slightly pricey however the trip was alot cheaper then others & they captured special moments! Altogether an amazing two days with this team! Great food, great company, great day! Thank you! :) <3

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely and detailed review. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your first scuba diving experience and had two amazing days with the team. Your kind words about our staff truly motivate us.

    Alanya : Scuba Diving for Beginners w/ Lunch and Transfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alanya.

    How much does Alanya : Scuba Diving for Beginners w/ Lunch and Transfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $23 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 w/ Lunch and Transfer 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 w/ Lunch and Transfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 63 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 w/ Lunch and Transfer?

    +

    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 w/ Lunch and Transfer 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 w/ Lunch and Transfer?

    +

    Around 22 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 w/ Lunch and Transfer 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.

    +
