Hi Keith,
I am originaly from Turkey and I just got certified there this summer(Aug,04) by my half brother who works as a Dive boat operator/instructor in Kas/Antalya. How can I help you? would you like me to get you in touch with my brother. His english is pretty good and I am sure he'd love to help you out. Let me know.

Keith,

Fethiye has a really good British owned dive centre calle European diving. Here's a link to their website. http://www.europeandiving.co.uk/fethiye/contactus.asp

If I was going to drop out of my current life and go become an instructor somewhere, this is the first place i would call.

You can count on water temps around 25C and viz of 20-40metres. Caves, caverns, rocks, old-stuff (bits and pieces, wrecks etc). Not huge amounts of fish and no coral but if you ask me the under water world there is still utterly spectacular. I've never been anywhere I liked better.
