Camel

About this dive site

This dive site, known as Camel, is located in Türkiye and is characterized by its unique rock formations resembling a camel's humps. Divers descend to a maximum depth of 29 meters, with the top of the reef sitting at a more manageable 14 meters. Navigation is straightforward, following the anchor rope for a safe ascent and safety stop. The site's name derives from the two prominent underwater bumps, easily identifiable during the dive.

The marine life at the Camel dive site is quite diverse. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of species, including sea turtles, groupers, lionfish, Mediterranean damselfish, bonito, pufferfish, and cornette fish. The reef itself likely provides habitat for a range of smaller invertebrates and colorful reef fish, adding to the richness of the underwater ecosystem.

The best time to visit the Camel dive site is likely during the warmer months when visibility is generally better and the sea is calmer. However, even during these optimal periods, strong currents remain a characteristic of this site. Divers should therefore only visit this location with a dive guide, and have prior experience navigating these currents. The site is not suitable for snorkeling or freediving due to the depth and current strength.
