Diving in Turkey

by Erkmen

Diving for purposes of sport, with proper equipment and in non-restricted areas, is permitted in Turkish coasts. Foreign divers should have official documentation of their specifics and training and must be accompanied by a licensed Turkish guide.The limit for diving with diving gear is 30 meters. For educational purposes, this limit is extended to 42 meters. Dives exceeding 30 meters must be carried out with proper diving and medical equipment. In order to protect Turkish archaeological and cultural values, it is strictly forbidden to transport Turkish antiquities or natural specimens. Turkey is also an ideal place to see Caretta caretta turtles and Mediterrenean foxes (Monachus Monachuses).. I have seen them all :) yuppiii You can rent all diving equipments, howvere better carry your suitswith you..
