Scuba Diving in Fethiye: 2 Dives with Professional Instructors

Two dives in turquoise bays, guided from start to finish

Scuba diving in Fethiye with Mermaid Diving includes hotel pickup, two 20-minute dives in Dalyan and Tarzan bays, professional instruction, all equipment, lunch, and return transport. No prior certification required for beginner dives. The operator has 35 years of experience and works with calm, clear water suited to first-timers.

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel in an air-conditioned shuttle, arriving at the boat by 9:30am. You make two dives of 20 minutes each in protected bays at 5–8 meters depth, with professional instructors in the water beside you. The first dive happens in Dalyan Bay, where the operator brings underwater cameras for photos and video. After a lunch break on the boat, you head to Tarzan Bay for the second dive. Between dives and after, you can sunbathe, swim or rest on deck: the boat doesn't rush back to port until late afternoon, giving you time to settle in.

All scuba equipment is provided and included in the price, along with a full meal (salad, rice or pasta, and a meat or chicken main course) prepared by the operator's restaurant. The instructors speak English and work with divers at all levels. If you've never dived before, the calm conditions and shallow depth are designed to build confidence. Insurance is covered. Return to your hotel happens between 5:30pm and 6:30pm depending on the season.

Top questions

Do I need to know how to swim or have dived before?

No prior swimming or diving experience is required for the beginner dives offered on this trip. The shallow depth (5–8 meters), calm bays, and professional instructors beside you are designed for first-timers. If you hold a dive certification and want to dive deeper or longer, contact the operator to confirm options.

What's included in the price, and what costs extra?

The price includes hotel pickup and return, both dives, all scuba equipment, a professional guide, insurance, and a full lunch. Underwater photos and video shot with professional cameras are available for purchase. Beverages and snacks during the day are not included.

How long is the full day, and when does the boat leave?

The full experience runs about eight hours from pickup to return. The boat departs at 9:30am (arrive by 9:00am if you're meeting the operator at the port), and you return to your hotel between 5:30pm and 6:30pm depending on the season and how busy the day is.

What are Dalyan Bay and Tarzan Bay like underwater?

Both bays are calm, shallow, and known for clear visibility: the conditions that make Fethiye popular for beginner diving. Dalyan Bay is where the first dive and underwater photography happen. Tarzan Bay is the second dive site. The operator describes the scenery as colorful fish and underwater formations suited to a relaxed pace.

What if my hotel isn't easy to find for pickup?

Contact the operator before your booking date and let them know your hotel location. They will arrange a meeting point or confirm pickup details so there's no confusion on the morning of the dive.
