DIVING LOCATIONS
We have more than 15 dive points around Bodrum with typical Aegean and Mediterranean flora and fauna. Shallow water diving points offer dives without currents but full of fish for first timers, while some deeper points have small currents for experienced divers. There are two reefs with depths ranging from 7 to 40 meters. They are full of fish with good chances for photography. There are two caverns one at 12 meters, a bubble cavern. Other one is at 6 meters with air in it, walls reflecting different shades of deep blue. Drop-offs allows you to discover something different.
At times visibility reaches up to 40 meters meaning that you are now diving in crystal clear waters, literally! Rock formations in the dive points offer shelter for groupers, octopuses, learfish, barracudas and other different creatures. You also may see amphoras and antique anchors which are more than 2000 years old.
Big reef
20 minutes by boat. Depth to the south is 32 meters and to the north 36. Groupers, barracudas, learfish and octopuses are the head actors of the reef. You may even come across a caretta turtle if you are lucky.
