Warm temperatures prompt early surge in diving tourism in Turkish town of Kusadasi
The above-average temperatures of the season have
led to an early start for diving tourism this year in Kusadasi district of
Türkiye’s western Aydin province, which is famous for its underwater beauties.
Kusadasi, nestled among nature and blue flag
beaches, ranks as one of the premier vacation spots for tourists.
It offers both local and foreign visitors the
opportunity to explore the unique beauties of the Aegean Sea by diving into its
turquoise waters.
High temperatures observed in April revived diving
tourism in the region.
In the city, where seven diving centers operate,
tourists witness the beauty of the underwater world by diving at 13 reef
points, including one of the world's largest wrecked airplanes, the Airbus
A300, a single-engine airplane, and a cave.
Speaking to Anadolu, diving instructor Tagmac
Saracoglu said that the diving season started early this year and the demand is
increasing day by day.
"The good weather made the season more lively
compared to previous years. There has been an increase in diving activity,”
Saracoglu said.
The demand for diving was high thanks to the sunny
weather, calm sea as well as lack of rain and wind, Saracoglu noted.
Saracglu said that besides the warm water sources,
there are also old stone anchors and ceramic pieces under the sea.
Ross Urquhart, who came from Scotland, said that he
was diving for the first time.
"I encountered many underwater creatures here.
I recommend diving to everyone," Urquhart said.
