Stay in Kalkan, dive in Kaş
Kalkan is one of the coast's loveliest places to stay, and for diving Kaş has led in Turkey for years. Little river inflow and a seabed that drops away fast keep the water clear all year. The Dakota plane wreck, the tank wreck, the Canyon and the Blue Cave are all on our boat's daily routes out of Kaş Harbour.
The coastal road over Kaputaş Beach links Kalkan to Kaş in about 30 minutes. Never dived? One-to-one discovery dives with an instructor. Certified? Full-day trips with two dives. After a licence? SSI courses that work fine while staying in Kalkan. It all starts from the same pier.
Getting here & meeting
How to get from Kalkan to Kaş Harbour
We don't run a transfer service; guests come by car or minibus. The meeting point is always the same: our boat in Kaş Harbour.
- By car: about 30 minutes
Follow the D400 coastal road towards Kaş; it passes above Kaputaş Beach. We send parking advice for the day on WhatsApp when you book.
- By minibus: Kalkan → Kaş
In season, minibuses run the Kalkan-Kaş line all day, and the harbour is a short walk from the stop.
- Meeting: Kaş Harbour, the Blue Team boat
We meet at the harbour in the morning; the exact meeting time and the day's plan are confirmed on WhatsApp when you book.
- Return: in the afternoon
The boat is back in the harbour in the afternoon, so you'll be in Kalkan in comfortable time for dinner.

Coming from Kalkan: FAQ
Travel and program questions
Is there a transfer from Kalkan?
We don't run a transfer; the meeting point is our boat in Kaş Harbour. The drive takes about 30 minutes, and in season Kalkan-Kaş minibuses run all day. We send parking advice on WhatsApp when you book.
Is a dive day from Kalkan comfortable as a day out?
Very. We meet at the harbour in the morning and return in the afternoon, so your evening is back in Kalkan. With such a short drive even the full boat day stays relaxed; we confirm the exact meeting time together on WhatsApp.
I've never dived before. Can I come from Kalkan for a discovery dive?
Of course. A discovery dive needs no experience or swimming skills: you dive one-to-one with an instructor, ages 12 and up. All equipment, the boat and insurance are included; just bring a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen.
Can I take a dive course while staying in Kalkan?
Yes. The SSI Open Water course runs over 3-4 days, and with only a half-hour drive it works comfortably from a Kalkan base. We plan the course days around your holiday together.
Can I drive back to Kalkan right after diving?
Yes. Unlike flying, driving needs no waiting period after a dive, and the half-hour road is easy after a boat day. If you're flying soon, remember to leave at least 18-24 hours between your last dive and the flight.
