Located in the Çanakkale region, Dalabilirim Dalis ve Egitim Merkezi Turizm Tic. Lt has been an active part of the local diving community since 2018. The centre operates under the authorisation of the TSSF (licence no. 1056) and provides access to two distinct locations: Fatmakadın Beach and Kabatepe.
At Fatmakadın, the facility is situated near the beach and local camping options, while the Kabatepe site is located within the Kum Hotel. This dual presence allows for a variety of diving experiences, ranging from relaxed reef explorations to more technical wreck dives.
The team is composed of six instructors, ensuring that training and guided dives are handled by qualified professionals. They focus on developing competent, environmentally conscious divers through detailed briefings and personalised attention.
Communication is straightforward for international divers, as the team is multilingual, speaking Turkish, English, and Russian. This helps ensure that safety protocols and technical details are clearly understood during every dive.
The centre offers a comprehensive range of training through CMAS, SSI, and RAID affiliations. You can begin your journey with an Open Water Diver course or progress through more advanced training programmes.
For those looking to specialise, SSI Specialty courses are available. The curriculum also includes Sidemount training, Decompression procedures, and Freediving (Apnée) programmes.
Dives are conducted using fast boats, which allow for efficient travel between the various sites in the Saros Bay. These vessels are used to reach both the open water of the bay and the specific wreck sites located near Kabatepe.
Saros Bay offers safe and pleasant diving suitable for all experience levels. The bay provides a reliable environment for exploring local marine life and reef structures.
Kabatepe is a premier destination for wreck enthusiasts, known specifically for its shipwrecks from the First World War. These historical sites offer a unique atmosphere for divers looking to explore sunken naval history.
