Aqua Club’s story began in 1996, when Asutay Akbayir established Aqua Club Ltd. in Türkiye with a clear vision: to inspire people through the power of the underwater world. What started as a small scuba diving school quickly grew into one of the region’s most respected names in Scuba Diving Education and International Travel Organization.
For over two decades, the Aqua Club has created unforgettable experiences around the globe. From Türkiye and Cyprus to Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, the Maldives, Malaysia, and Indonesia, the company organized hundreds of diving and cultural expeditions. Throughout this journey, Aqua Club has trained more than 7,000 divers and diving instructors, welcomed over 20,000 guests, and completed over 600 diving tours, earning numerous awards and industry recognition.
Beyond travel and training, the company also excelled as a distributor for world-leading diving equipment brands, building a strong reputation for its sales and after-sales support.
Between 2019 and 2024, Asutay and his wife Gözde expanded their expertise, providing consultancy and training services to private companies and government institutions both in Türkiye and internationally. This period marked a strategic evolution — a transition toward broader professional fields, including Business Development, Digital Marketing, Brand Strategy, and ISO Consultancy.
In 2024, with new partnerships across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, Asutay and Gözde launched a bold new chapter in Malta:
Aqua Club International Ltd. Armed with a renewed vision and mission, Aqua Club International proudly builds upon 30 years of experience — transforming a distinguished legacy into a dynamic, future-ready global brand.
