What makes Kaş special for scuba diving?
The Antalya coast is beautiful, but when the topic is scuba diving, one name has led in Turkey for years: Kaş. Little river inflow and a seabed that drops away fast keep the water clear all year. Sites like the Dakota plane wreck, the tank wreck, the Canyon and the Blue Cave add up to a variety few single harbours can offer.
We dive these waters with an experienced team. Never dived? One-to-one discovery dives. Certified? Full-day trips with two dives. After a licence? SSI courses that fit 3-4 days. It all starts from the same pier.
Getting here
How to get from Antalya to Kaş
The coastal road is a scenic tour in its own right; count the drive as part of the holiday.
- By car: about 3-3.5 hours
Follow the D400 coastal road from Antalya: Kemer, Finike, Demre, Kaş. Plenty of bays and ancient sites to break the drive.
- By bus: Antalya Bus Station → Kaş
Buses and midibuses run the west-Antalya line all day; the ride takes about 3.5-4 hours, and the harbour is a short walk from the stop.
- If you're flying in
The closest airport to Kaş is Dalaman (about 2 hours); from Antalya Airport the drive is about 3 hours. A rental car is the practical choice on either route.
- Meeting at the harbour
Our boat is in Kaş Harbour. Parking, meeting time and the day's plan are confirmed on WhatsApp when you book.
Decide
Day trip or overnight?
Both are possible; our honest advice is below.
Doable but intense
The day-trip plan
- Early start, evening return
- Enough for a discovery dive day
- Full boat day + 6-7 hours of driving = a long day
- Budget energy for the drive back
Our recommendation
Stay 1-2 nights in Kaş
- 2 days = 4 dives: the region deserves it
- Evenings in Kaş's famous old-town streets
- Courses need 3-4 days anyway
- A rested, safer drive home after diving

Coming from Antalya: FAQ
Route and program questions
Is a same-day trip from Antalya realistic?
For a discovery dive, yes: leave early and the day works comfortably. For the full-day diving trip it makes a very long day with the drive both ways; we recommend 1-2 nights, which also means four dives and a rested drive home.
Can I drive back to Antalya right after diving?
Yes. Unlike flying, driving needs no waiting period after a dive. Still, if you feel tired after a full boat day, leaving the 3-3.5 hour drive to the next morning is the safest call.
We don't own any gear. Is that a problem?
No. All dive equipment, the boat and insurance are included; just bring a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen. Certified divers who bring their own gear get a discounted rate.
Where do we meet in Kaş, and is there parking?
Our boat is in Kaş Harbour; we send the exact meeting point and that day's parking advice on WhatsApp when you book. The harbour is a short walk from the town square.
