Crazy? Perhaps. Although this sport predates scuba diving by several centuries and for the many who practice it, diving with just \u2018one breath of air\u2019, is a highly exhilarating experience. The town of Kas, on the southern bulge of the Mediterranean coastline in Turkey, abodes one of the few freediving centres on the Med. Although despite its devotion to showing of its wonderful aquatic life, Kas remains a relatively unspoiled tourist town.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to embark on a freediving course in Kas visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mavidiving.com\">www.mavidiving.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Whitewater Rafting on the Dalaman River<\/h2>\n<p>Just the mention of whitewater rafting is enough to evoke a pleasurable concoction of both nervousness and excitement.\u00a0 Passing through small caverns, past cavernous gorges, awe-inspiring waterfalls, craggy mountain ridges and lush forests, the Dalaman River is a wonderful place to experience whitewater rafting. Although taking the time to take in the scenery is not always an option with this blood-pumping water sport. Because of its aptness in producing some of the finest rafting experiences and courses in the world, there are several centres dedicated to whitewater rafting and other water sports on the Dalaman River.
