All our programmes follow 2 different price increase policies.

Period-Based Price Increase: Our activity holiday packages go on sale at advantageous early booking prices, and prices are raised as they approach their occupancy limit. In this case prices do not rise on all dates at the same time; they increase only for the periods that are filling up, while the advantageous prices remain in place on less busy dates. No SMS or WhatsApp notification is sent for period-based price increases.

Block Price Increase: This is a price increase applied to all dates and packages at the same time at certain points during the season. In this case, our returning guests and the guests registered with our SMS information service are notified of the price increase by SMS or WhatsApp message 1 day in advance.

Important: Our pricing policy works much like buying airline tickets, so deciding and planning early helps our guests secure the advantageous early deals.

For guests whose holiday date is not yet fixed, we recommend locking in the price with an advance payment and later using the date change right, which is granted once only.

Every week, 30-40% of our participants come alone. Depending on the hotel's availability, participants coming alone are accommodated with same-sex participants who are also coming alone at the  Fethiye programmes' hotel, Seril 2 Butik Otel, in 2- or 3-person rooms.

You do not need to pay any extra fee.

Depending on the hotel's availability for your period, you can tick the single room option at the basket (checkout) stage and stay in your room on your own by paying the single room supplement.

Photos and videos taken at the end of the Scuba Diving Experience Package are not included in the program price. You can buy them on the boat if you wish. Photo and video prices are set during the season and may vary from period to period. You can ask our team on the boat for the current prices.

To join the Scuba Diving Experience Package, you need basic swimming skills.

• You can bring personal items such as a Swimsuit, Towel, Shorts and Sunscreen. In addition, you can get your diving equipment free of charge on our boat.

Accommodation for our Fethiye Scuba Diving Experience participants is provided at Doğadayız Doğa Sporları Seril Otel.

Participants Coming with Their Spouse / Partner:
in 2-person rooms with a double bed,

Participants Coming with a Group of Friends:
in 2- or 3-person rooms, according to the number of people they stated when booking,

Participants Coming Alone:
are accommodated in 2- or 3-person rooms together with same-sex participants who are also coming alone, depending on the hotel's availability.

No guests are admitted to Doğadayız Doğa Sporları Seril Otel outside the activity holiday programme. At the other locations, accommodation takes place in mixed groups.

The aim of this practice is to bring together people on the same wavelength and to create a social atmosphere reserved for Doğadayız guests.

• The age limit for our Scuba Diving Experience Package is 14–55. Participants aged 14–18 must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian.

The age distribution of the people who join our programmes is on average 40% between 18-30 years, 50% between 30-44 years, and 10% in the 40-55 age range.

While the share of our participants who come with their spouse or partner is generally around 40%, the remaining 60% consists of participants coming with a group of friends or on their own.

Our programmes consist of people on a common wavelength who want to socialise and have a good time, who have a passion for adventure and extreme sports and who have embraced this type of fun.

Once the Final 8 Days Have Begun;

Getting enough sleep and managing your fatigue during your diving course directly affects both your safety and how much you get out of the training. We recommend paying attention to the following points before and after your dives.

Before the course:

• Get a good night's sleep before diving days; a rested body feels much more comfortable underwater.
• Avoid alcohol. Alcohol dehydrates your body and can make underwater work and deep dive practices harder, as well as cause various health problems.
• Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is one of the main factors increasing post-dive fatigue and the risk of decompression sickness.
• Have a light breakfast on the morning of the dive; do not dive hungry or overly full, and avoid heavy, fatty meals.
• If you have a cold, sinusitis or nasal congestion, be sure to tell your instructor; equalising with blocked sinuses can be difficult and risky. Please also share any regular medication or chronic conditions with our team before the course.
• If you suffer from seasickness, we recommend taking precautions before boarding the boat.

After diving:

• Avoid intense physical activity on the same day, especially after deep dives. Heavy exercise, running and tiring hikes are not suitable after diving.
• Do not fly for at least 18-24 hours after diving. Please keep this in mind when planning your return flight.
• Stay away from alcohol after diving as well; rest and drink plenty of water to let your body recover.
• Do not do breath-hold (free) diving on the same day.

You can always consult our instructors about anything you are unsure of regarding your health; our team follows all these rules together with you throughout the course.
