planning to go in either july or august, 2 young couples, we enjoy sight seeing and cultural trips as well as having a beutiful beach to relax on, and plenty of activities like water parks etc…most important for me is the scuba, where is considered the best place to scuba dive in these areas, and why?

Antalya is the best (seaside) Bordum inland look at Turkey Map and see each part from google. Also visit for Turkey and find out.
hmm.. im not sure about scuba diving, but bodrum is more touristic, i dont like antalya too much, but dalaman is great for relaxing. bodrum is more crowded and filled with bazaars and tourist traps etc. but dalaman is more like a secluded island – (not really, but you get my drift) =)) but ive been going to bodrum ever since i was 6 months old, so my heart lies there. though if you do go to dalaman, go to the marina, its amazing.
Bodrum is mostly visited by the english where as Antalya is mostly visited by the germans.
There is plenty to do in Bodrum with friendly people and lots tourist attractions and sight-seeing tours such as excursions to Efes and Pamukkule etc. Also lots of boat tours visiting other surrounding islands.
I’m sure you will have a great time there.
If you wanna dive, definitely go to Kas in Antalya.. It is the center for diving..
