Kusadasi bay is a volcanic one, which means that the sea bed is covered in cracks and fissures which emit hot water (fumaroles). Divers swimming into one of these hot water outpourings for the first time are generally quite surprised at how hot the water is.

There are three main locations for diving in Kusadasi bay, Shore dive, Barabaros Reef and Adabanko Reef.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced diver, you can discover the beauty of Kusadasi and the Aegean Sea with one of many dive centers around the town, who will provide equipment, advice and guided tours to ensure that your diving experience is extremely enjoyable!

One of the most popular Dive centers is Aqua Venture, located on Green Beach. The dive centre offers the full range of PADI diving courses, so that anyone having completed a show dive and who wishes to gain their first certificate (Open Water) can do so. Similarly certified divers can upgrade their skills, and certification, all the way through to Divemaster.
