About Derin Dalış Merkezi

Derin Dalış Merkezi (also known as Derin Dalış ve Cankurtaran Merkezi) is a dive centre in Çandarlı, the small harbour town in Dikili district on the northern İzmir coast. It offers try dives, dive guiding and diver training around Çandarlı and Dikili, and also runs lifeguard training. For first-timers the centre publishes a guide to a first scuba dive in Çandarlı covering preparation, safety, equipment and how to apply. The centre documents the local dive sites on its website, drawing on dive records from 2013 onwards and its photo archive. Named Çandarlı dive sites include: - Kız Kulesi - Kara Ada - İki Banko - Maltepe Burnu - Küçük Ada (Taksi) Each site page covers its history, underwater geography and photography notes, which makes the website a useful introduction to diving on this less-visited stretch of the Aegean coast. Contact the centre by phone to book a try dive or course.
