👍👍 Very good experience here. Diving for the first time and the preparations were taken very seriously. They really took the time to explain everything, test, adjust, etc. Complete equipment provided, very professional appearance. Would love to dive here again.

    Diving was well done. Alev and Yunus are great members of the crew and ready to help with everything. We went to Side underwater museum, all sculptures, saw even rays. Maximum depth was 13 meters. As a safety rules of PADI had safety stop at a 5 meters depth.

    Professional, individual and extremely personable 👍🏼👍🏼 I felt very comfortable on my first dive. I sent an inquiry via email from Germany and received a response very quickly. After a few emails we continued via WhatsApp. All of my questions were answered very well. I was then picked up from the hotel by Alev and off we went 🤿 I was also able to use my English again. Even if you speak little, you understand everything... If necessary, with hands and feet 😁 The first dive was to the museum 18m and the second to the Apollon Temple 12m. The water was great 😃 Visibility good at 26 degrees. Clear recommendation 👍🏼

    Side Scuba is a very good dive centre, with their base and pool training in the grounds of a lovely 5 star hotel. I was a VERY nervous beginner, after having had a bad experience at another previous dive centre. Both Alev and Yunus at Side Scuba were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and patient to help get me past my fears, after which I completed my Scuba Diver course to a depth of 12 metres. They have a great selection of good quality equipment, with all the safety precautions and kit you would want/ expect. After being very nervous in the beginning, they turned it into an amazing fun experience for me and my partner, so much so I'm now looking at my next Scuba trip! I would 100% recommend them - you'll get a high quality, personal service.

    If you want to dive professionally at Side, this is the right place for you. It is not a tourist event. Five of us went out to sea in a boat and dived a wreck. Yunus, the dive center's guide, gave us a proper and detailed briefing in advance. The dive was completely relaxed and communication underwater was flawless. Only recommended!!!

    I had never tried scuba diving before but wanted to try. I went through a micro-course on the shore and in a pool where I could try out some basic skills like controlling the mouthpiece, BCD, and so on. I am not skilled in sports and was quite nervous, and so they gave me their chief instructor for the sea dive (down to 5 m, 30 min). The guy was really great, very reassuring, helped me with everything, and so I really enjoyed the experience a lot. The whole adventure (including the basic training, a short trip by a boat, and the dive itself took about 3 hours).

    Nice experience with fair prices, and the staff very friendly and helpful. The scuba diving trainer is so patient and he explains you several times everything. For us was the first time,but not the last . We will come back for sure.

    A company worth recommending. Good quality equipment. Responsible instructors. Small groups. We did 2 dives together and I have no objections to the organization. Good contact via Whatsapp. The fastest way to the diving center from Side is through the beach (approx. 30 minutes' walk from the old town). Best regards and I recommend it once again!

    5of5 stars! Together with the Scubaside team, I got my Advanced Open Water Diver License. I learned a number of important things both on land and under water (e.g. how to use a compass). We also did some dives in different beautiful places in Side (underwater museum, ~30m wreck deep dive, etc.) The team is highly motivated and has a lot of fun with their work. There was no lack of know-how and competence at any point. I would recommend this diving school to everyone who is around Antalya/Side.

    The diving trip to the underwater museum in Side led by instructor Alpaslan was an absolutely great experience that we will remember for a long time! :) Everything went like clockwork from the seamless arrangement via WhatsApp, through packing the equipment and the actual trip to the sea and diving under calm and experienced supervision. Thank you and we can only recommend it to others! 👌🥽🐠

    It was very well organized and Communication was very good per email and WhatsApp. I booked two dives and my buddy Alparslan did a great job. It was my first time in Open water after doing my license and for me it was perfect to do it alone with him. Great experience and I definitely recommend it here.

    Just heard about the wildfires nearby - on top of Covid and tourism restrictions. I was there in 2018 and 2019 - great people; great diving; great fun. What it's meant to be!

    This is a great dive club. We had a bad experience with another local dive club (safety lacking, poor equipment) and quit there and moved over here with Alev & Yunus. We did our PADI scuba diver course. Module 1 to 3 pool training and first 2 open water dives. The club has a lot of equipment so they will have your size in wet suits, flippers etc and the gear was in good condition. They take safety seriously and have all the required safety gear on the boat as well. Alev & Yunus are great Instructors and make you feel relaxed (my dive buddy was very nervous initially). We dived House Reef 2 (8m) and the Museum (12m). Both dives were really good and we were lucky to have good weather and great visibility and got surrounded by loads of fish at the museum dive. We paid extra for the videos and pics and it was well worth having those memories! So book with these guys - you won't regret it!

    A very caring team. I had fears. But they motivated me very well. I had so much fun. I can try this experience again and again every year :)

    Excellent dive center. Good equipment, dives on a boat, comfortable diving groups, only a few people in the boat, professional instructors, everything is as safe as possible. The dive is varied, you can see the underwater museum and aquatic inhabitants.
