    Best scuba experience in Turkey

    Been on many scuba diving trips in turkey but this one by silver diving centre waa easily the best I’ve ever been on. An amazing boat and professional staff with very good equipment. So i could recommend 100% for you to book & go on this trip. See you again soon.

    Must try

    It has been a one of a kind experience. Our first dive, and it was unforgettable. Under the sea there is a different world, and I felt that I was a guest in that world. The statues, the fishes, everything around you is an out-of-this-world experience. The instructors took really good care of us, was patient and paid attention to us. We dived one-on-one, each guest had an instructor with them, we felt safe.

    OK day on the water

    Nice day on the water. OK for trying scuba diving for first time. Note that children below 16 are not allowed to scuba, although it says from 3 years in the advert on TripAdvisor. Instructors could be more patient, felt treated a bit like cattle some of the time.

    Response from the operator: Hi Dear Guests, We wrote that the divers must be older than 16 years old and who is less than 16 years old can do only snorkeling. Because the government doesn't let us and the sea security check us for this age especially. And the insurance doesn't cover less than 16 y.o. for scuba diving. Kind Regards Seven Tours Ufuk Arabacıoğlu

    Diving : excellent with great guides and good equipment. Everything in between was lacking.

    Pick up prompt at the advised time - 0750 Walk into the old town ~ 15 mins Boarded a large boat - 3 decks - one for diving gear, on with tables and chairs and one for sun bathing. Good Wifi available on-board for €1 Filled out forms before departure while more and more people got on board. A lot of hanging around - boarded boat at 0850, only left 1 hour 25mins later at 1015 Experienced divers went first. Dive was well structured. Very poor visibility after ~15m - 2m max. Did a wreck dive then the museum which was interesting. Felt in good hands with instructor. Equipment provided in good condition. Water very warm for first 10-12m then get noticeably cooler. They provided a 5mm shortie wetsuit which was perfect. A lot of waiting around while the rest of the passengers did their dives - most of them their first dive. For beginners, very short dive, down ~ 6m for 5-10mins for a quick photo then up again. So around 3 hours between each dive. On boat, playing rather loud dance/trance music. Lunch served at 1300 - pasta with chicken stew and salad with bread. Portions on the small size. Soft drinks available to buy. After lunch seemed rather disorganised as some passengers got seasick and so the staff elected to take them back to the harbour. Think they saw this as an opportunity to make a quick buck as they announced to the whole shop that anyone who wanted to go back there and then could for the price of €5. Second dive after lunch - museum pieces lasting around 40mins - rather good fun! Shallower dive with max depth of 9m. Much better visibility. All the new divers did their second dive then there was around about 1 hour of “free time” where not much was happening. The boat left the dive site at 1610 and docked at the harbour at 1645. 15min walk back to the bus and then transfer back to the hotel. I got dropped back at 1750. So much for a 5h trip…more like 10hrs!

    Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum 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 Side is not rushed.

    Is Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum?

    +

    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 Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum 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 Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum?

    +

    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 Side 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 Side and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum 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 Side 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 Side?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat 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 Side?

    +

    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 Side?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum?

    +

    Included: Insurance during tour; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Use of SCUBA equipment; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Lunch. Not included: Photos and DVD; and Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Side: Scuba Diving Under Water Museum include hotel pickup?

    +
