Dive-site story
Situated along the dramatic coastline near Kalkan, Frenk Bay South Wall offers a steep vertical descent along rugged Mediterranean limestone. Divers drift past rock crevices, small overhangs, and fields of ancient amphora fragments embedded in the seabed. The clear waters and striking underwater topography make it a classic south-coast Turkish wall dive, with visibility frequently extending far into the blue.
Sheer limestone wall adorned with sponges, tube worms, and sea fans
Scattered ancient amphora shards embedded along ledges and sandy patches
