Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Let me start by say a Big Thank you
Paid for transport and from where I was staying worth every penny. Yunus picked me up excellent English and made me laugh most of the journey. Sort of marine biologist he says. Got to the base split between Sinan and Yunus the 2 dive instructors. Yunus took the group of 3 and sinan took myself and another diver that’s it. Great communication and with such a small group very personal. We done 2 dives TCSG 117 and part of the museum and both dives I really enjoyed. Sinan was fantastic as I had not dived for a year and helped sort me out in the first 5 minutes which then made the dives perfect. First dive on the wreck was at 24 meters and was fascinating the second one at 12meters and the museum was great for picture opportunities and relaxing
Overall would recommend the photo package with 2 dives.
I know the do a 5 day package and if I had longer would have took this up with these gentleman
Once again thank you

Had a great experience pre-booking a Museum experience for my son and I. On the day, there were only 2 of us as some others dropped out, but they still went ahead. Eunis was a great instructor helping my son who isn't qualified. The videos and photos were made available the same evening on one drive. Definitely recommend them for a great dive experience in small groups.

I completed two dives (beach and house reef) on 29.09.2024, it was a wonderful experience. Sinan picked me up at the hotel with his car and was later taken back there by another employee. During the two dives I was lucky enough to be the only customer for the morning, so Sinan and I only went diving in pairs. As a beginner and without a diving license I felt very comfortable with him, he had a lot of patience with me and has a very calm, empathetic manner. The other staff were very nice and accommodating. I felt very safe and well looked after all the time and recommend the dive center without restriction. Definitely worth the money to her, as diving is only ever done in small groups.
Best regards,
Sabrina

Made 2 dives today. The first on the wreck and then part of the underwater museum. Super nice dives, saw many different species of fish. Sinas and his crew are top notch. Everything well arranged. Although something went wrong with the booking. Was resolved satisfactorily on site. If you want to dive with that little bit more personal attention, this diving school is definitely recommended.

A great couple of dives with Sinan and Nuri, who were both very professional and patient.
This was only dive number 8+9 for me and my wife, so although we are OW certified we are not very experienced.
The dive sites at Camel Road and the Underwater Museum were very different and offered us another chance to hone our skills.
A very enjoyable experience and I would definitely use them again when back in Side.

Fantastic first time ever scuba diving experience. I had two amazing dives first at the house reef and then at the top part of the underwater museum. Sinan and his crew made everything so easy.

I did 2 dives last week on Monday and it was a beautiful experience. Sinan picked me up with his car at the hotel and later brought me back. During the two dives I was lucky that I was the only customer for the morning, so Sinan and I only went diving in pairs. Especially as a beginner I felt very comfortable with him and he gave me a few more tips. Also the other staff were very nice and accommodating. I felt very safe and in good hands all the time and recommend the dive center to everyone!

Amazing experience! We dove in Alanya and Kas before this, and only in Side did we see a lot of marine life. From arriving at the hotel, during the dive till to the end it was great service by the team. Highly recommend!

We were able to experience two wonderful dives with our two children. It was the children's first time, Sinan's crew prepared them well and in the end the children had a lot of fun.
The dives were carried out in a small group, which was very pleasant. Other providers are cheaper, but they also pay less attention to the guests.
All in all a great day, we can recommend the Sides Azura Dive Center.

I asked Azura to organize a dive for me and my DSD certified daughter. They organized a very individual trip to the underwater museum just for the two of us, with pick up from the hotel, and equipment. The instructor not only ensured my daughter's safety but also a lot of fun - an unforgettable experience!
We appreciated our private trip even more, when we saw the "mass tourism" boats at the dive spot.
We highly recommend Azura!
