Oriza Park Beach

About this dive site

This dive site features the St. Didier shipwreck, a popular dive spot near Antalya, Turkey. The wreck sits at depths ranging from 15 to 30 meters, offering a fascinating exploration for divers. Navigation is relatively straightforward, following the wreck's structure from stern to bow. The history of the ship itself would need further research to provide a detailed account.

Marine life around the wreck is diverse. Divers can expect to see various fish species common to the Mediterranean, including groupers, snappers, and smaller reef fish. The wreck itself provides habitat for many invertebrates and potentially some larger species.

The best time to visit is during the summer months (June-September) when the water is warmest and visibility is at its best. Divers should be aware of potential currents around the wreck, especially during stronger winds. Due to the depth and the potential currents, this site is not suitable for freediving or snorkeling. Experienced divers are recommended for the site.
