"I had never dived before and, honestly, I was nervous. The instructor never let go of my hand underwater; at eight metres I felt completely safe."
Merve AlkanAnkara, July 2026
"Afkule was the highlight of our week in Turkey. Proper briefing, clean kit, and the guide knew exactly where the light hits the dome."

FAQ

I cannot swim. Can I still dive?

Yes. On a try-dive the instructor stays with you underwater and handles the navigation. Swimming is not required, but staying calm in the water matters. We test that at the surface, and if you are not comfortable nobody pushes you.

Is there an age limit?

The minimum age for a try-dive is twelve. There is no upper limit, but anyone with a heart, respiratory or ear condition needs a doctor’s clearance.

How large are the groups?

On try-dives one instructor takes a maximum of two people at a time. For certified divers it is four people per guide.

Do you offer underwater photos and video?

Yes, but it is not included in the package. You can request it on the boat for an extra fee. The footage is handed over digitally at the end of the dive.

What happens if the weather turns?

If a dive is cancelled we move it to another available day. If your holiday ends and no alternative day works, any payment made is refunded in full.

Do I need to pay to book?

No. Once we have your request we call you within twenty-four hours to agree the day and the pick-up point. Payment is made on the day of the dive.
