With Turkey being surrounded by sea on three sides there are a number of water sports that people on holiday to this country can enjoy. However, if you would like the opportunity to be able to explore more of the underwater side of this beautiful country then why not arrange a visit to one of the many scuba diving centres that have now been set up.

Although this type of water sport activity has only recently been introduced the country it is become very popular and is mainly located around the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea resorts. However there are certain times of year when participating in this water sport are better than others.

As with other countries there are specific times of the year when the diving conditions are at their best. If you intend to visit Turkey in order to go scuba diving then you should be looking at arranging your holiday between the months of April and November. This is when the water will be a much clearer blue color so visibility is far greater. In most cases you will be able to see as much as 30 metres in front of you as you glide along under the surface.

Yes you are going to see quite a few different types of fish in the seas that surround Turkey but not as many as you would expect to see if scuba diving in the Caribbean or other tropical seas. Yet you are still likely to spot things like moray eels, bream and also sting rays, plus if you are pretty observant you may spot some octopi or other molluscs feeding on the various marine plants that make up the reefs or grown on the rocks or walls. The kinds of places that you should be looking at spending time scuba diving include Kara Ada which is located just off the coast of the town of Bodrum.
