- Duration: Half day
- Season: April – November

Kaş is widely rated the best diving town in Türkiye — deep, clear, warm water metres from the harbour, and more dive centres per street than anywhere else on the coast. A discover dive is the no-licence version: a briefing, a patient instructor, shallow protected water, and that unrepeatable first breath under the surface.

No course, no exam, no experience — just basic comfort in the water. Intro dives stay shallow (around 5–6 metres) with an instructor beside you the whole time. Most people surface already asking about the licence course.

## Questions people actually ask

### Do I need a licence to try diving?

No. A discover dive is exactly for people without a licence: a briefing, shallow water and an instructor at your side. If you enjoy it, the entry-level course takes a few days and can start right after.

### How deep do you go on a first dive?

Around 5–6 metres — enough for fish, colour and the full weightless feeling, shallow enough to stay easy on your ears.

### Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

You should be comfortable in the water, but this is not a swimming test — the equipment does the floating and the instructor does the navigating.

### When is diving season in Kaş?

Roughly April to November. Water peaks near 28°C in late summer and stays divable well into autumn.
