Dive-site story
Situated along the rugged coastline south of Fethiye near Karacaören Island, this site features a steep underwater canyon formed by limestone faults. Divers navigate between vertical rock walls and boulder-strewn passages before following drop-offs out toward deeper blue water. Ancient pottery shards scattered along crevices reflect centuries of Mediterranean maritime traffic.
Narrow rocky canyon walls with dramatic overhead light filtering through crevices
Scattered ancient amphora shards embedded in rocky fissures
Sponges and soft corals encrusting sheltered overhangs
