My cousin will be doing a 1 year tour in Turkey. He's really interested in diving while there. He'll be arriving this winter.
Some questions, hoping someone has experience as a service member or works in the area:
Some questions, hoping someone has experience as a service member or works in the area:
- Are any SB members active divers in the area?
- Have any SB members previously been stationed there and were active divers?
- If so, how did you find others to dive with?
- Are there any active clubs?
- Are there programs to expand certification on base?
- When is the best time of year to visit the area? I'm in Florida, so I prefer warm water
- Are service members able to leave base to go diving or does it have to be a sponsored trip with base services?
- From Adana, is it best to go to west to Mersin or directly south to Karatas, or somewhere else?
- At some point next Spring or Summer, I'll probably fly out in the area to visit for a week or 2 of diving, do you recommend diving in this area or meeting up somewhere else in the area?
- If elsewhere, where?
