Dive-site story
Abdi Reis Cove sits near the outer mouth of Marmaris Bay along the rocky coastline of the Bozburun Peninsula. The site features a sheltered bay that transitions from gently sloping rocky shallows to dramatic tumble-boulder formations and sand patches deeper down. Scattered shards of ancient Mediterranean amphorae lie fused into the rock substrate, offering a glimpse into the region's ancient maritime trade routes while you navigate the crevices and swim-throughs.
