About this dive site

This dive site, Medfish Deep OW - 40m, is located off the coast of Türkiye and is specifically designed for deep diving training. The site is characterized by its clean, clear waters and the absence of strong currents, making it a safe and predictable environment for divers working on their deep diving skills. Navigation is straightforward, given the lack of significant underwater features aside from the open water itself. There is no known historical significance or specific story tied to this location, its primary purpose is focused on diving education and training.

The marine life at Medfish Deep OW - 40m is predominantly pelagic. While coral or other benthic species are sparse, divers may encounter various fish species common to the region, including schools of pelagic fish. Bottlenose dolphins are very rarely seen here, making for a special treat if encountered.

The best time to visit is likely during the months of August to October when the thermocline is absent, providing more consistent water temperatures for divers. It is essential for freedivers and divers to be aware of the depth and to maintain proper buoyancy control throughout the dive, as there is a potential for cold-water issues. Divers should also adhere to safety protocols and utilize appropriate equipment for deep dives, and be prepared for the possibility of an encounter with dolphins.
