Turkey's reference point for diving
Scuba-Bay has been running dive training and dive travel without interruption since 2004. We were the first dive centre registered with the Turkish Underwater Sports Federation, under registration number 001, and since 2016 we have organised trips in Turkey and abroad as a TÜRSAB-registered Group A travel agency, supervised by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
We stay away from mass tourism. Our programmes bring diving, exploration and local culture together on the same trip; we keep our groups small and plan each route around the conditions of the water and the season. With experience that ranges from recreational to technical diving, we guide divers of every level with the same care.
94 per cent of the tours we plan go ahead. For us, that figure isn't a marketing line; it's how we measure whether we have kept our word.
Diving and dive travel, without interruption, ever since.
