40 Kafalar

About this dive site

This dive site, 40 Kafalar, is located between the Pınar-1 wreck and Poyraz Bay in Türkiye, known for its deep drop-off dives. The dive begins with a descent to 17 meters, then continues to depths exceeding 45 meters, although the maximum depth for this analysis is capped at 25 meters. Following the wall, divers can encounter large schools of barracudas. Navigation requires attention due to the reported reverse current and potentially challenging underwater conditions.

Marine life observed at 40 Kafalar includes large schools of barracudas. While the description does not specify other species, divers should expect a variety of fish common to the Mediterranean Sea, potentially including smaller reef fish, depending on visibility and location along the wall. More detailed species identification would require in-situ observation.

The best time to visit is likely during the calmer months of summer (June-September), but currents can still be strong. Divers and freedivers should be experienced and comfortable with deep dives and strong currents. Proper planning, including checking weather and current conditions beforehand, is crucial for a safe and enjoyable dive. Due to the depth and currents, this site is not suitable for beginners or snorkeling.
