Kusadasi, Active Blue Diving Centre www.activeblue.com

One year ago I found myself back in the water - after a long time without any real scuba-diving. And the need for a refresher course was imminent. At my hotel the Kusadasi Active Blue Diving Centre has a fee \"trial-dive program\" suitable for everyone who wants to try. And - well from a short test-dive to be participating in PADI`s Open Diver and then Advanced Open Diver was short - within less than two weeks I completed both courses and 16 dives of various levels. The professional and friendly staff under the leadership of Mr. Tagmac Saracoglu made the whole difference. Not only highly experienced staff and Dive-Masters the dive center also provided excellent educational program. The marine life at the cost line and the strategic place for Active Blue Dive Center sets a perfect frame for a safe- as well as fascinating dives that included; thermal-vents, archeological artifacts (no-touch - just see), corals, tropical fish of various kind, lobsters and cave-diving.What my family enjoyed was the fact that it was very convenient for the non-diving members due to a short walking distance from the hotel! I also know from experience that Active Blue provide a free shuttle-service from any of the local hotels in town. Another thing; I met a lot of regular guests - many of them have been back several times in the last years. And I do understand why: As a guest you are immediately regarded as a part of the Active Blue Diving Family. And this is profound. As a proof - I am coming back this summer!

This is amazing, i was no great lover of water, but the staff at Active Blue changed all that with patience and kindness and a totally professional manner which is refreshingly not just about money,but customer satisfaction, i could not fault this at all, they are a fantastic team, consisting of Tagmac Saracoglu,( the boss ), Osman, Efecan,Emin, the lovely Tugce, and Hasan, these people made my holiday so much better, im going back next year with my family for the 3rd year in a row, along with my son in laws family, who done his dive course in 2010 and my son, who sat and passed his last year.So so so much enjoyment at the Dive Centre, such a relaxed and friendly place to be, i love these guys so much, and Tugce, Tagmacs sister, who makes this good place great. Im not being funny in any way, the underwater world that they open up to you is simply an unforgettable experience, it lives with you for ever. If you ever go to hotel Aqua Fantasy, or Princess Ephesus in Kusadasi in Turkey, and you want to do one thing,you wont regret Active Blue Dive Centre, honest.

I had a great time in Active Blue Dive Centre! the owner (Tagmac) +90 532 7074909 was very helpfull. I had some great dives and my three sons learned to dive there, at less than half the price I would have paid at home (Ireland)very friendly and helpfull staff, really made us feel at home.

Hope to see you again soon Tagmac!

I can highly recommend Active Blue dive centre, I have been going there for a number of years and find them very nice to deal with, They have a very good team of instructors and cather for all ages and experience levels! They are very helpfull with other items as well, such as advice on buying equipment, further training and even acccomodation if needed.

I am looking forward to seeing the team again in July, its like coming home!Five Star *****

Great team and great diving experience! I've enjoyed being there every time and I recommend this dive center to all beginners or experienced scuba divers.

This year I decided to learn diving whilst staying at one of the hotels at kusadasi, Turkey. I went to the active blue diving centre, near the aqua fantasy hotel

I have to say that it was a great experience: learning to dive with professional instructors that took the time to explain things clearly. I enlisted myself for the open water course and it was a learning experience with both theory, lots of dives near the coast and finally an exam. Thumbs up for the Active Blue diving centre of Kusadasi!

I am 61 years of age and was taught to Scuba dive at Active Blue Diving Centre in Kusadasi. I booked my holiday with First Choice and stayed at the Aqua Fantasy Hotel, which is how I came to achieve my certificate. I feel that this diving school should be commended for their excellence in teaching people of all ages. Thank you, I look forward to diving with you soon.
