Dive-site story
Situated near the entrance to Marmaris Bay, Red Rock takes its name from the reddish mineral tones coloring its submerged rocky formations. The site features an underwater pinnacle surrounded by tumbled boulder fields, small overhangs, and sandy channels. Divers can circumnavigate the main rock structure while exploring crevices that shelter typical Mediterranean reef dwellers, with scattered ancient amphora fragments embedded across the seafloor.
