Dive-site story
Situated along the outer flanks of Heybeli Island in the Kaş marine archipelago, this site features a sheer vertical drop-off plunging into deep Mediterranean waters. Divers follow a rocky wall system punctuated by ledges, fissures, and patches of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows before descending along the drop. The exposed position invites pelagic fish passing through the open channel, while the wall's crevices shelter typical Mediterranean reef dwellers.
