Kemer Scuba Diving Experience: Two Dives with Lunch
Book on Viator →Operated by Payless · Bookable on Viator
Two calm hours underwater can change your day. This Kemer scuba experience is built around clear, patient instruction and a smooth hotel-to-port flow, so you feel set up for a great day. I especially like how the team talks you through safety and the underwater signal language before you go in, with feedback praising instructors such as Mete for being steady and helpful. One drawback: if you’re bringing kids, there’s no mention of snorkeling gear for children who are not doing the underwater sessions.
If you want an active day without turning it into a logistics puzzle, this one is refreshingly straightforward. Pickup is free, the group is capped (up to 40), and English support is offered. You’re looking at about 8 hours total, so it’s a real half-day commitment, not a quick in-and-out.

Key Things That Make This Kemer Scuba Plan Worth It

- Two underwater sessions with your gear provided and training included
- English briefing plus instruction on underwater hand signals
- Licensed, experienced instructors focused on safety procedures and equipment use
- Free hotel transfer with a clear meeting-point rule (main gate, not reception)
- Full insurance and lunch included so you’re not constantly paying extra
Getting There Without Headaches: Hotel Pickup and Marina Kemer Meeting

This tour starts with the kind of pickup detail that can make or break your day. The day begins around 9:00 am, with free hotel transfer offered across the Kemer area. There’s a specific note to remember: due to high privacy rules at many hotels, you should meet at the main entrance gate, not the reception desk.
That matters because these tours run on tight timing once the group arrives at the port. If you drift to the wrong spot, you can lose the whole schedule. The meeting point is Marina Kemer GMerkez, Yalı Cd. 9/A, 07990 Kemer/Antalya, Türkiye, and the activity ends back there too.
The tour is also set up with a mobile ticket, and confirmation is received at booking time. In practical terms, that means less waiting around, more time for the briefing and getting geared up.
If you’re the type who likes a plan that’s easy to follow, this one is built for you.

The 9:00 AM Setup: Briefing, Safety Rules, and Signal Practice

Before anything underwater happens, you’ll get a briefing from the instructors. This is not just a quick talk. You should expect a full explanation of the stages of the underwater experience and the safety procedures, plus how to use your equipment properly.
The most helpful part is the focus on communication. You’ll be taught underwater signal language, so you’re not guessing while you’re adjusting to the experience. This is where calm, patient teaching really pays off—one of the strongest notes in feedback is that explanations are clear, and people feel secure.
You’ll also test the oxygen breathing equipment before you go in. That’s a smart step because it helps you get comfortable with how it works while you still have the instructor right there.
And yes, it’s in English. That’s a big deal for first-timers, or for anyone who wants to understand what’s happening without relying on “maybe they said something important.”
Two Underwater Sessions at Kemer: What the Day Feels Like
Your day includes two underwater sessions, both tied to the Kemer area. The overall experience is described as starting with the boat trip, followed by training and underwater time in calm, natural spots around Kemer.
Here’s what that usually means for your comfort. You’re not thrown into the deep end of complexity right away. You get coached first, your equipment is provided, and you learn how to communicate underwater. Then you get a first session, and a second session later—so you’re not left with only one shot to figure everything out.
That two-session structure can be surprisingly valuable. If your first time feels a bit new or you need a little adjustment time, the second session gives you a chance to feel more confident with what you’ve already learned.
In feedback, the standout theme is how smooth the first underwater session can be. For people doing it for the first time, the clear explanations and the sense of being safe tend to make the whole day feel manageable. There’s also a positive note about solo travelers feeling supported, which is a good sign if you don’t want to babysit your own confidence.
Boat Time and Lunch: Staying Comfortable Through the 8 Hours
This is an all-in-one day package, with lunch included. That’s a practical win because drinks are not included, so you’ll want food covered to keep your energy steady between the land time, the training, and the two underwater sessions.
Even without getting specific about exactly where lunch happens, you can expect the day to follow a rhythm: pickup, arrival and briefing, equipment testing, boat time, underwater sessions, then the rest of the afternoon wrapped up back at the port and the meeting point.
For many people, the biggest mental hurdle is the “waiting between moments” part of any water day. Having lunch included helps you avoid the stress of hunting for food while you’re dressed for the day.
Also, because this experience is described as a relaxing option in a natural setting, the pacing matters. You’re not racing through stops. You’re getting training and underwater time with time built around it.
Price and Value Check: Why $40 Can Be a Good Deal Here

At $40 per person, the value is mostly about what’s covered. This package includes diving equipment, lunch, full insurance, free hotel transfer, and a training service. That’s a lot packed into a single price, which tends to make the day feel cheaper in practice—even when you compare it to tours that add fees later.
The value logic is simple:
- You’re not separately paying for equipment.
- You’re not separately paying for insurance.
- You’re not separately paying for pickup.
- You’re not going hungry thanks to lunch being included.
What’s not included is also clearly stated: drinks and personal spending. So if you’re the type who likes bottled water all day or other beverages, plan on that extra cost.
There’s also a timing angle. On average, this tour is booked about 7 days in advance. If you want the easiest scheduling, booking within that window can help you get the day you want.
If you care about a straightforward day with fewer add-ons, this price structure is one of the biggest reasons it earns high marks.
Group Size: What Up to 40 People Means for Your Experience

The group size is capped at a maximum of 40 travelers. That’s not tiny, but it also isn’t so large that you feel completely lost in the crowd.
More important than the number is how the briefing and training are handled. The instructors explain safety procedures and equipment use, and they teach signal language. A group that’s capped can mean better control and smoother coordination during setup.
The feedback also points to patient teaching, which matters even in larger groups. If you’re new, you’ll likely appreciate instructors who slow down and make sure you understand what to do next.
Also, the tour notes a moderate physical fitness level requirement. That’s relevant here because group logistics depend on everyone being able to participate safely.
Safety and Fitness: Who Should Book and Who Should Skip

This isn’t framed as a high-adventure, fitness-only activity. It’s described as suitable for people with moderate physical fitness, and it’s not suitable for guests with physical difficulties.
So the question you should ask yourself is simple: can you follow instructions, move comfortably as needed for the day, and handle the physical demands of the activity safely?
Children under 14 are not allowed to do the underwater sessions. They can enjoy sunbathing and swimming instead. One review point raises a practical complaint that you should keep in mind: the experience does not mention providing snorkeling or mask-and-tube equipment for kids who aren’t underwater. If you’re booking as a family and you were hoping non-diving kids could do their own water time with gear included, you may want to confirm options directly with the provider.
Finally, the tour requires good weather. That’s not a small detail. If weather isn’t favorable, the tour can be canceled and you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
Practical Expectations: Language, Equipment, and Where You Fit In

English instruction is offered, and that makes this tour a strong choice if you don’t want to “learn by vibes.” You’ll also get your gear provided and you’ll test the oxygen breathing equipment as part of training.
The tour also specifies that instructors are fully licensed and experienced. While that’s a broad claim, your day will feel more professional when safety procedures and equipment basics are emphasized early.
Here’s the kind of traveler this works well for:
- First-timers who want clear explanations and time to practice signals
- Solo travelers who want a supported experience rather than a stressful scramble
- People who want two underwater sessions in one day with lunch and pickup handled
And here’s the kind of traveler to reconsider:
- Anyone with physical difficulties that might affect participation
- Families expecting included snorkeling equipment for children who are not doing the underwater sessions
- Anyone who hates weather uncertainty, since the experience depends on good conditions
Should You Book This Kemer Two-Session Scuba Package?
If you want value and a calm, coached day, I’d lean yes. The strongest reasons are practical: equipment included, full insurance included, lunch included, and free hotel pickup, plus English instruction and signal practice before you go in.
The experience also has a high approval rate and an almost universal theme in feedback: people feel safe, instructions are clear, and the crew is patient. If you’re doing your first underwater session, that comfort factor is huge.
The one reason to pause is family expectations around kids. If you’re booking with children under 14 and you want them fully equipped for water time beyond sunbathing and swimming, you’ll want to clarify what, if anything, is available for non-participants.
