Dive-site story
Sarıyarlar is situated along the sheltered coastline of the Fethiye Gulf, characterized by rugged limestone formations that drop away into boulder-strewn slopes and seagrass beds. Divers explore rock walls covered in sponges and algae, where small caverns and narrow swim-throughs shelter typical Mediterranean reef dwellers. The location provides calm water conditions protected from predominant winds, making it a reliable mooring for local day boats.
Limestone drop-offs and scattered boulder piles with swim-through crevices
Healthy Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows hosting juvenile fishes and mollusks
Sheltered bay conditions suitable for extended bottom time and navigation practice
