DIVE BOAT TOURS
Every day at 10 am we leave Dalyan harbour and we can get to the furthest dive site in 45 min. We do two dives a day. Between dives we have an excellent lunch, typical Turkish cuisine. Divers can bring their own equipment or they can use our new equipment.

Between the dives you can enjoy yourself by snorkeling or swimming in the clear blue and warm waters of the Aegean sea. For the non diver, we can offer a discovery dive program. They can enjoy the underwater world by diving under the supervision of one of our experienced instructors.

CRACKED ROCK
One of our most popular sites for all levels. A good first multi level dive location. Dive able in all weather conditions. Good visibility and very little current. One can see an old 7th century anchor and some Amphora's from the 4th to 7th century. A fishermans net stunningly drapes the shear wall which has become home to many small creatures. For non divers a perfect site for snorkeling and a typical Turkish lunch for all.

88 ROCKS
Down to 50 M . One will find many historical Amphora's lying abandoned on the sea-bed having given up it's content long ago to its new home. For the most eagled eyed, you will come across what appears to be an ancient tablet !!! Diving among the Amphora's one can't but wonder how these artifacts finally came to rest all those years ago. The sense of diving within the past gives an eerie atmosphere only a diver will ever be able to appreciate

BEDROOM
This is a perfect 2nd dive as it has a max depth of 17 m. Diving in a counter clockwise direction you will notice a spectacular arch beneath you. Dive through the arch and come face to face with the opening to the bedroom. Inside the chimney it has an opening to the middle of the island. One can surface and admire the natural beauty of an unspoiled landscape. On the way to the bedroom you will be visited by very colorful schools of barracudas and scorpion fish etc.

NO NAME
Another perfect site for a second dive. Always very calm in any weather. Max depth is 16 m. Very colorful and full of fish. Simply follow the shore line and come back. Easy for navigation. We also have a few very near by dive sites to No Name. Therefore this site can be used to stop and rest between the dives and move to a different one in the afternoon.

TOPUK
When the sea is calm we can get there as it is in the middle of the sea. Max. 18m depth. Barracudas and Jack fish swim around. Very interesting site. One of the near by sites to No name. Do you have a picture standing up in the middle of the sea?! One can not stop himself to think that this was the main reason for the many remnants of the wrecks around!

MONEM
A superb wreck to dive. It lies at 17m depth. You can even sea the mast above the sea. Any body can see it. We take the advanced divers in to explore the wreck. Would you like to see the bow from the captains place? It is a bit spooky though...

TUNA FISH FARM
An other Dolphinland treat! Imagine diving with huge fish. It would be nice wouldn't it? Now imagine diving with huge and thousands of them. On top of that you and them are in the farm, surrounded by nets! You must experience this. Really unbelievable. They weigh between two to five hundred kilos.

EQUIPMENT
75 scuba tanks
30 BCD's
25 regulators
25 double pieces wet suits
50 pair of fins
20 pair of masks & snorkels
