A great place to learn to dive. There is no pool based training and you go straight into the sea which may put a few people off but really shouldn't. Very professional and friendly staff who looked after us very well.

idillic location. Professional. Excellent standards. Friendly and calm approach. Nice tea!

I learnt to dive here and took my PADI in 2010. The guys who run Kalkan Dive are spot on, they don`t rush anything because diving is a lifestyle. I last dived with them back in September last year (2011). I am also going back again this year. Its best if you want the boat dives to book in advance... More

Apparently it was better a few years ago but now very little left and we supposedly did two of the better sites (a nearby wreck and a 'wall')

Also one of cheapest places I've found in the world to get your PADI open water certification. Did it recently and was impressed with the program they offered. Good diving from a great team in a...

Having visited Kalkan for the fourth time this year, and also spent time at the Kalkan Dive Centre. Altan and everyone that works with him are fantastic and passionate about diving. They are patient and understanding, professional and friendly and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for anything from a try dive to a PADI open water... More
