“Ein toller Ausflug mit super Guides! Abholung super Pünktlich! In Side angekommen muss man durch die Stadt runter laufen zu dem tollen Boot! Vor dem Tauchen wurde in sämtlichen Sprachen die Ausrüstung und der Tauchgang erklärt! Jeder Tauchlehrer hat eine Person mit runter genommen zum ersten Test und für Fotos. 15 Minuten Tauchgang. Wenn es Probleme gab oder man Angst bekam waren sie sofort zur Stelle und haben geholfen und waren sehr einfühlsam! Danach gab es Essen und den zweiten Tauchgang. Dieser war tiefer und nur der wollte hat mit gemacht. Bei dem zweiten Tauchgang gibt es keine Fotos was sich aber lohnen würde da es super toll war! Ein…”

2.City of Side: Underwater Museum Scuba Diving Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 111 reviews · 7.5 hours · from $50

Join an English or German-speaking instructor for two 20-minute scuba sessions at Side’s Underwater Museum. You’ll see 110 underwater sculptures at 5 to 6 meters, use supplied equipment, eat lunch on the boat, and have snorkeling as an option for younger participants.

“Ich habe Tickets für das Unterwassermuseum beim Tauchen in Side gebucht. Morgens wurde ich gegen 9:00 Uhr vom Bus abgeholt und zu den Toren von Side gebracht. Von dort mussten wir ca. 2 km in der prallen Sonne zum Tauchboot laufen – bei 40 °C sehr anstrengend. Nach kurzer Wartezeit startete das Boot. Beide Tauchgänge waren wirklich schön, die Skulpturen unter Wasser sind beeindruckend. Leider waren die Pausen dazwischen sehr lang und schlecht organisiert. Nach dem zweiten Tauchgang gab es ein einfaches Mittagessen; Getränke waren nicht inklusive (z. B. Eistee für 3 € bzw. plötzlich 4 $ bei Zahlung in Dollar). Die Guides waren freundlich, aber man fühlte sich nicht wirklich willkommen. Der Rü...”

“Safety briefing with Hashmet was great. First five was just to take pictures & lasted about 10 minutes. Then sat on boat for over 3 hours whilst the rest of the group dived. The boat moved to another location for lunch, which was very basic & beware if you take a drink when offered with lunch you will get charged for it at the end of the trip. 2nd dive was hardly a dive at all. depth was less than 3m. No fins. Really just a crawl across the sand in scuba gear to see a couple of star fish & was about 5 minutes in the water. Jumping off…”
