Scuba Side Diving Center - Kas & Kekova
The team at Scuba Side Diving Center are exactly what we look for in a dive operation: professional, friendly, and they genuinely love diving in Kas. Based in the Turquoise Resort, it’s a convenient spot if you’re staying there, but even if you’re not, they’re well worth seeking out. We’ve found they excel at making newcomers feel comfortable, especially if it’s your first time diving in the cooler Mediterranean waters or if you’re working on your PADI Advanced Open Water. We particularly love their boat trips to the Kekova region. The journey itself, cruising past the sunken city, is atmospheric, and the dive sites there often feel less crowded than some of Kas’s more popular spots. Keep an eye out for the ancient amphora scattered on the seabed; there's something genuinely cool about finning past history. Visibility can easily hit 25 metres on a good day, the light plays beautifully through the water, illuminating the walls. Ask them about their favourite late afternoon dive; sometimes the light on the return journey, with the setting sun hitting the cliffs, is just stunning.
