To dive in Turkey (Mediterranean Sea) you will need a 1.5 - 3mm suit, fins, mask, snorkel, elastic freediving weight belt and weights. Snorkel, mask, belt and weights can be purchased locally.
For your convenience, you will need a swimsuit, a large towel, flip flops, sunscreen and whatever else you like to take to the beach :)
Below we will talk about the equipment that is suitable for beginners. If you are interested in buying a professional suit and fins, please contact us for advice.
We cooperate with the Italian brands Cetma and Eliossub, which produce professional quality freediving suits, fins and monofins. We will help you decide on the order, select the equipment that is optimal for your purposes and make an order to Italy.
Wetsuits for beginners can be one-piece, but it is ideal if
it has separate hooded jacket and pants.
The suit can be "open-cell" smoothskin, or with additional fabric for the strength of the suit. For beginners, a suit with extra fabric is recommended. If the suit has no hood, then you should buy it separately.
The mask should have a small air volume and a
soft skirt. Scuba diving and snorkeling masks are different from freediving masks, check with the store for what the model is for.
The snorkel should be simple. It must be rigid and able stay up out of the water while breathing without always needing to attach it to the mask. You can buy a snorkel with an attachment for the mask or just tuck it under your mask strap.
"Dolphin" brand rubber fins are also ideal.
You can consider long freediving fins: an affordable option is plastic long fins.
Weights should be 1 kg, the selection of weights is carried out at the rate of 1 kg per 1 mm of the suit with an average build.
