Side Azura – PADI dive center

about-side

ABOUT SIDE

Side is undoubtedly one of the most famous historical places of Turkey.
The city was founded on a peninsula around the 7th century B.C. and the ancient name of this port means pomegranate.

Side is primarily known for its beautiful ruins, beaches and shopping centers where you especially can shop for gold and leather. You also can enjoy your time here at the many fine cafes and restaurants that serve Turkish and other cuisine. Or immerse yourself in the nightlife until the early hours in one of the many bars.

The narrow side streets are bursting of the many typical Turkish handicraft shops. One of the most famous attractions is the ancient theater, and it is with its loggia, the oldest in the region. It has the seating capacity of 15.000 people so don't miss the view! Other monuments that are worth to visit are the Temple of Apollo which is located on the harbor, a fountain and an acropolis. The great Roman baths have been converted into museums where one of the finest archaeological collections is on display.

SIDE AZURA BRINGS SCUBA TO YOUR LIFE!

Scuba diving is a wonderful activity that can be done by experienced divers, but by newcomers and children as well. It’s a wonderful activity that can be done by the whole family! You can explore a world that others can’t see or only dream about. Unlike snorkeling, with diving you can really enter that other, almost magical world, which makes it a truly special thing to do.

A DIFFERENT WAY OF WORKING

The main goal is to ensure that you, as valued guest, get an unforgettable Scuba dive experience. You are on a well deserved vacation and time is precious. This is why the staff try to accommodate to the best time that fits you. When you decide to go diving or follow a course with Side Azura, you will not lose a whole day. The daily schedule is highly flexible, so we adapt our schedule to your wishes.

We keep it personal and do not participate in the ‘mass production’ as other centers might do. We created our diving options especially for you so that you still have plenty of time for other activities. Possibly you’ll dive with other vacationers, but the group will always remain small. In this way we guarantee the service we’d like to provide and we can ensure that you receive the attention that you deserve. In the end, we want you to have a great dive whilst sticking to all the safety requirements.
