Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Bodrum near Kara Ada, this submerged pinnacle rises from the seabed toward the surface, forming one of the flagship dive spots in the Turkish Aegean. The seamount features steep drop-offs on its eastern and southern faces, with rock crevices, small ledges, and amphora remnants scattered along the descent. Schools of pelagic fish circle the blue water surrounding the reef while macro life occupies sponge-covered boulders.
