Kemal was a great host and the sea just by the hotel is great for starting to learn as there are hundreds of fish,who usually choose to follow you.
Below are some pictures from this year.

Dived on the old wreck of the Duchess of York,blown to bits but the ribs are still there with groupers hiding under the plating.There is another wreck near to it,according to Turkish sources the Sakarya,which is bigger and in 3 known pieces.Then pick one of the islands or reefs to dive. For more info on these wreck check out:-

13km river raft ride to Patara Beach through the remote valleys. Suitable for swimmers from age 12 upwardsFor this less adventurous, or family groups, canoeing on gentler waters is also great fun. Barbeque lunch by the riverside is included.

Kalkan is a super place for scuba diving because of the very clear waters that give great visibilty. And because the sea is calm and tide-free, it is a great place for beginners to learn how to dive. The Kalkan Dive Centre gives clients specialized service and introductory and certification courses. Also, deep diving, night diving, wreck diving and underwater navigation. I went for an introductory dive with this company and they were very good, explained things well, and my husband dives with them often. They have free introductory lessons.

As many of Turkey's town located on the south coast, Kalkan is a popular place for scuba diving due to its crystal clear waters.
Here are several dive sites including islands and reefs with a great variety of marine life.
Beside this, a day river canoeing can be also an interesting experience.
A ride along the nearby Xanthos river will end in Patara beach.
On the beach numerous clubs water sports offer numerous opportunities for jet skiing, water skiing, parasailing, Ringo and Banana.
