About this site

A wall dive on the Fethiye coast. The dive runs along a fissure of roughly 70 metres in the rock wall, among corals and sponges; at 7-10 metres there are cave mouths, and the daylight falling into them is what stands out here. The maximum depth reaches 50 metres and calls for advanced-level diving.

Diving rules

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.
