SCUBA DIVING IN SARIGERME

First thing what you need to know is, that there are no Diving Centres within the Village of Sarigerme. Diving centres are operating either from a Hotel or from the beach. Local Travel agencies are selling their diving sessions too

In Sarigerme village used to be one Diving Centre, which was run by Burhan and customers were extremly pleased with his service but unfortunatly he is retired from the Business after 40 years.

He used to provide full sevice , two dives and lunch ect. and all for a little money...Since he has left other independent diving businesses have taken advantage.

I have no idea what to tell you about their services of these diving companies , as they are not known to me, nor they have approached me to reassure me about their quality standarts etc.

I also did not received  any emails from the Visitors explaining how good or poor service providers they are.

The best way of finding out is to speak to them directly or visit one of the local travel agents in the Village.

Addition to your questions ask them the following :

Their qualifications,

how big is the diving boat,

how many divers do they take on board,

how many diving instructors are on board,

how many dives in one day and for how long,

quality of their equipments,

I personaly recommend you to book via Panda Tours, they will arrange all for you. If you do stay in Dalyan, Dalaman surrounding area, they will pick you up.

KAMIL ISLAND

This is an island of 200-300 meters length situated at the entrance of Aşı inlet abot 3 miles out of Sarıgerme. There is a sandy bottom in the east and some grassy regions.

The broken pieces of clay pitchers and amphoras can be seen scattered in the area. The wall parallel to the eastern section of the island is at a distance of 50 meters and has a depth of 35 meters ending on the sand.

You can see groupers and striped groupers at this section as well as many broken pieces of amphoras among the rocks and sand.

There are the triangular bodied Red sea fish in the eastern section of the island that live in a small cove which can only be seen in this part of the region.

The colourful shrimps at the different diving points of the island present a nice image to photograph.

NAR ISLAND

It is an island of 100-200 meters length situated 10 miles southeast of Sarıgerme.

It is least effected by the ulluvions of the Dalaman stream and Sarısu stream because it is far away from the mainland. The visibility under the water is horizontally about 30-40 meters.

A plateau in the southeast direction streches for 300 meters starting at a depth of 5-6 meters and continuing until 15-16 meters.

There is a steep wall in the south section where the plateau ends while in the north there is a moderate deepening incline.

This island which is abundant in fish and other living forms is a beautiful wall dive in a region known for its caves.
