Dive-site story
Situated across from the Kadirga lighthouse south of Marmaris, this sheltered bay transitions from shallow boulder fields into an expansive rocky drop-off. The site is particularly recognized for ancient Hellenistic amphora fragments calcified directly onto the reef rocks, alongside rocky ledges, swim-throughs, and boulder slopes that house typical Mediterranean fauna.
Centuries-old Hellenistic amphora remains embedded directly into the rocky reef
Tiered rocky wall drop-offs and crevices sheltering octopuses and morays
Sheltered conditions suitable for multi-level navigation across various depths
