Motif Dive Center

Motif Dive Center is one of Bodrum's original dive operations, founded in 1991 by brothers Şevket and Şeref Sevi and run by the same family ever since. A PADI 5 Star Dive Center backed by nine PADI instructors, it has long been a fixture of the diving around Bodrum on Turkey's coast.

The waters here turn up sharks, turtles and whales, along with ocean fish, eels and echinoderms and plenty of molluscs and crustaceans for divers who like the smaller stuff. Beyond recreational scuba, the centre offers PADI snorkelling and Emergency First Response (EFR) first-aid training, with PADI certification starting at the Open Water Diver course (from USD 418).

The centre

On site there is a training pool, a classroom, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi; the dive shop handles air and nitrox fills, equipment sales and rental, a dive club and travel services. The team works in English, German and Turkish.
