About this dive site

This dive site is located near Kaş, Turkey, and offers a very diverse underwater environment. It’s characterized by two notable wrecks: the ‘Ottoman’ wreck at approximately 23 meters depth, featuring visible wooden keel and frame details, along with an intact clay pot. The area also includes a vibrant reef extending northwest from the lighthouse point up to 30 meters – exceptionally suitable for night dives. Adding to its appeal is a deliberately sunk WWII C-47 Dakota airplane (wingspan 29m, length 20m) at 22 meters, creating an artificial reef and providing access to a cargo area, allowing even novice divers to explore. Green turtles and shrimp gobies are frequently observed in this location. The dive boat typically anchors on the protected east side of cape ‘İnce Burun’ due to prevailing choppy conditions outside.
