About this dive site

This dive site, Oasis, is located in Türkiye and features a small reef surrounded by sandy areas and seagrass meadows. The top of the reef sits at a comfortable 16 meters, with a maximum depth of 20 meters, making it accessible to divers of all skill levels, but particularly suited for beginners. Navigation is straightforward; the reef provides a clear focal point, and the surrounding sandy areas offer easy orientation. The site's historical significance lies in the presence of exceptional amphorae artifacts scattered around the reef, offering a glimpse into the region's maritime past.

The marine life at Oasis is diverse and abundant, especially as the water warms. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter a variety of fish, including friendly groupers, triggerfish, and barracudas. Sea turtles are also a frequent sight, making their graceful way through the posidonia meadows at shallower depths. The diverse fauna includes a wealth of small invertebrates and other small life that is ideal for macro photography opportunities.

The best time to visit Oasis is during the warmer months, typically from May to October, when the water temperature is pleasant and the marine life is most active. Visibility is generally good throughout the year, and current conditions are typically mild. For freedivers, the shallow depth and clear waters make this an ideal location for exploring the reef and observing the abundant marine life. For scuba divers, the amphorae and the chance to interact with the friendly groupers are definite highlights. Remember to maintain a respectful distance from all marine life and to practice responsible diving and snorkeling.
