About this dive site

This dive site, located at Buyuk entry point, offers a captivating underwater experience. The area begins just above a shallow plateau, characterized by coral reliefs that stand out against the white sand. Divers descend along a gentle slope, allowing them to drift with the currents and explore a vibrant ecosystem. The seabed is abundant with sponges, sea fans, corals, and anemones, creating an incredibly rich environment.

Experienced divers can track down unique marine life, including orangutan crabs, nudibranchs, and Thor shrimps. However, vigilance is key, as Mola Mola or fox sharks may be spotted, and occasionally even whale sharks silently observe from the blue depths. The overall experience promises wide smiles, stars in the eyes, and a wealth of memorable images.

This dive site is considered particularly easy and rewarding.
