Diving points and centers in Turkey: The authorities of the Turkish state had a wonderful idea to improve diving in the country and the first place of such honor was awarded to the city of Side. Turkey, which is washed by 4 seas, is a good place for beginners and already successful divers.
Many companies offer to dive, including ours. There are two diving options from Side: in Side itself and in Alanya (transfer included). Now let's take a closer look at each of them.
In Alanya you can see caves, underwater grottoes, a large animal world, ranging from turtles to unusual fish. But diving in Side is much more interesting, here opened the first and so far the only underwater museum in all of Turkey. It is located in the southern part of Side, in the Manavgata area.
Side underwater museum
Side underwater museum are 5 different locations, where more than 110 exhibits are presented. Themed zones about the war of Independence, the art of reuniting with the universe in the form of swirling dervishes, luxurious flowering gardens. Material for exhibits is suitable for the origin of coral life, where we hope to soon form coral reefs with various underwater inhabitants. The museum also talks about the Anatolian civilization and its richness. Work with the exhibits took no more than 9 months, after which they were placed under water.
The most important thing is that the sculptures were created by careful technology, the purpose of which was not to harm underwater life and its inhabitants. More than 30,000,000 people have already been there. The depth varies from 9 to 25 m, it will be interesting to visit even professionals. The Turkish authorities are not going to stop there, and in all possible ways will try to improve diving and open similar museums in all tourist regions.
