Dive-site story
Located just a short boat ride from Kaş harbor, Pigeon Island (Güvercin Adası) features a submerged rocky reef system that wraps around the small islet. Divers frequently visit the site to explore scattered ancient amphora sherds and a sunken marble shark sculpture placed along the seabed. The topography transitions from rocky drop-offs and boulder fields into gentle sandy patches dotted with Neptune grass meadows.
