Dive-site story
Situated along the rugged cliffs of Ekincik Bay near Dalyan, this dive site features an intricate network of caverns, rocky overhangs, and swim-throughs. Sunlight penetrates cavern arches to illuminate sponges, bryozoans, and encrusting organisms that cover the limestone walls. Outside the cave openings, rocky drop-offs shelter Mediterranean reef species and macro life resting in shadows and rock crevices.
Extensive sea caverns with wide entrances and overhead swim-through channels
Dramatic light beams piercing cavern chambers
Frequent encounters with Mediterranean marine life sheltering in dark crevices
Proximity to protected sea turtle foraging grounds
