Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no single nationwide marine park tag for recreational diving, but costs and rules still show up in a few places: entry documentation (visa, if required), local protected-area zoning, and site or mooring fees that may apply on certain bays or boat routes. Your licensed operator is the best source for what applies to your exact itinerary.
| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turkey e-Visa (if required) | Varies by nationality Depends on passport and visa type | Visitors who require a visa | Official e-Visa portal (online) | Use only the official government portal and keep a digital and printed copy available for check-in and arrival. |
| Protected area zoning and mooring rules | Varies Trip specific | Boat trips in protected bays | Handled by operator or local harbor authority when applicable | Some coastal zones sit inside protected areas. Expect anchoring limits over seagrass, no-take expectations, and route constraints. Ask your operator how they comply. |
| Archaeology and cultural heritage protections | N/A (rules and penalties apply) Always | All visitors and divers | Not applicable | Never remove artifacts from the sea and do not buy antiquities. If you see cultural objects underwater, leave them untouched and report concerns to your operator. |
| Topside site admissions (ruins, museums, parks) | Varies by site Per entry or multi-site passes | Topside sightseeing | Official ticket offices and authorized sellers | If your group is mixing dives with ruins days, budget for admissions at major archaeological sites and museums. |
