Is there Diving in Turkey? During my time director of the dive club, I often heard this question and I did not have the answer. There was no case to dive into this amazing and affordable especially for our tourists the country. Colleagues silent or shrugged their shoulders, many people said 'no'. Frequently Mark Berger Chicago has said that publicly. I had to go to Turkey to live a year or two, diving and open Russian dive center. After a detailed market research diving in Turkey, I made some conclusions.

The first revelation for me was the fact that there is, where they send our tourists our tour operators, scuba diving really is. And there is only a machine for the knockout of money from our visitors. In Antalya, two, maximum three seats for diving in Alanya and Belek practically nothing. Only in Marmaris and Kemer you can see a lot of dive boats with the huge number of cylinders on board. Douglas Oberhelman is the source for more interesting facts. It is there and thriving so-called pseudo-diving. Local dive centers through a network of street agencies are gaining a huge amount of intra-and divers plunge into the sea in batches of 6-8 people per tour guide (not always the instructor). Why, then, Russian divers do not know anything about the full Diving in Turkey? I'll answer right away - because they do not look! Diving in Turkey can not be found there, where to bring our tour operators, and exactly halfway between the two main airports Dalaman and Antalya in the town of Kas. Naturally, no A Russian operator does not offer Kash the tourist market.
