Diving Experience in Olympos
The Olympos diving experience takes place in some of the clearest waters of the Mediterranean. Since Olympos ancient city is a protected archaeological site and water sports are prohibited there, we conduct our dives at special dive spots in nearby Adrasan. We provide free transfer from Olympos to Adrasan.
Our marked dive spots in Adrasan include: Bat Cave, Light Room, Catamaran, Poseidon, Pirasali Island and Pirate Cove. Each offering its own unique underwater scenery, visibility at these points can reach 20 meters. Whether you want to go underwater for the first time in your life or aim to become a professional diver, we have programs suitable for every level with over 30 years of experience.
Our diving programs are conducted with internationally recognized PADI and CMAS certification systems. Our experienced instructors will be with you throughout the dive and ensure you enjoy safely underwater. The rich marine life of Adrasan, caves, rock formations and various sea creatures will fascinate you.
Our Courses and Programs
Discovery Dive
Are you curious about the underwater world but have never dived before? Then the Olympos discovery dive is perfect for you. No certification or previous experience is needed. All you need is curiosity and willingness to enter the water.
Before the dive, we give a short briefing on our boat. We introduce the equipment, explain how to breathe underwater and teach sign language. Then our instructor enters the water one-on-one with you and together you explore at a maximum depth of 5 meters. Seeing fish up close, examining the rocks on the seabed and feeling that silence... Even your first dive will be an unforgettable memory.
The discovery dive lasts approximately 20 minutes and non-swimmers can also participate comfortably. All equipment is provided by us. We provide free transfer from your accommodation in Olympos to the Adrasan dive spot.
Discovery Scuba Diving (DSD)
One step beyond the discovery dive, Discovery Scuba Diving is a PADI program designed for those who want to experience scuba diving more seriously. If you are not ready for a certification course yet or your time is limited, with DSD you can descend to 12 meters and experience a real diving sensation.
Throughout the program your instructor works one-on-one with you. After learning basic diving skills, you complete your dive in the open sea. You must be at least 14 years old to participate, no previous diving experience is needed.
