Post by: alantj on July 08, 2015, 08:01:29 PM

Can anyone recommend a competent and safety vonscious Kalkan company that runs courses for beginners to scuba diving.

My daughter would like to try scuba diving this year, and if she like it, maybe progree to the basic PADI scuba diver course.

Hi

Try the Kalamar beach club as they run courses for all levels and they have both English and Turkish instructors

Also the Dolphin Dive boat in the harbour - my son has now got his advanced PADI with them!

Hi Kevincat99, Felicity,

Thanks for the recommendations.

From a quick trawl through their websites and reviews both look good I will check them out after we get to Kalkan tomorrow.

Regards

Alan

My daughter did her PADI basic course at Kalamar Bay.  She loved the experience.

Thanks Charlie,

It looks like it will be difficult to choose between Kalamar and the Dolphin boat, both get great reviews.

The PADI Divemaster course is your first level of professional training. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you’ll fine-tune your dive skills, like perfecting the effortless hover, and refine your rescue skills so you anticipate and easily solve common problems.
