Numbers are 2023–2025 monthly average water temperatures; colour shows the suggested suit for that month. Tap a month to see the details below. Waves and wind: average of each day’s highest value in that month (Open-Meteo marine model and ERA5); a darker tone means a wavier or windier month for this site. These are open-sea models; sheltered coves are usually calmer.
Hood and gloves recommended.

A Turkish Coast Guard vessel laid down at Taşkızak Shipyard in 1982 and launched in 1983. She served in many operations, including the Kardak crisis, and was decommissioned in 2016. In 2017 she was sunk to 30 metres near Eşek Island as part of an artificial reef project. She is not a war wreck but a ship deliberately sunk for dive tourism.
Underwater cultural assets are covered by Turkish Law no. 2863. Diving at these sites is done only through authorized dive centers and in line with the published rules.
Distances are in a straight line and some coordinates are approximate; the route by boat is longer.
