Turkey has become very accessible in recent years and as the tourisms industry has developed, so too has the diving industry. There are dive centres in most of the holiday resorts, offering try-dives and training to those who have never dived before. For more experienced divers, liveaboards and two-centre trips are viable options to encounter a wider range of dive sites. Most of the diving in Turkey is done around the Mediterranean resorts of Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Oludeniz and Kas.

On a visit to Turkey you can expect to find warm, clear waters and a large number of dive sites. The underwater scenery is varied and interesting, with tunnels, caverns and rocky pinnacles providing divers with plenty to explore. There are also a lot of wrecks along the Turkish coast, both recent and modern. It is also common to find the remains of pottery and amphora as you are diving. With temperatures of 18°C in May to 30°C in August and a visibility of 20 to 40 metres, there is much to enjoy by diving in Turkey. Marine life is abundant here and includes Octopus, stingrays, groupers, barracuda, morays, sea bream, nudibranchs, seahorses and sponges. There is the possibility of seeing dolphins and turtles, but these encounters are not very common.
