About this dive site

This dive site, known as Pinar 1, is a fascinating shipwreck located on the west coast of Turkey near Bodrum. The wreck rests at a depth of 40 meters and offers an intriguing experience for divers of all skill levels. Built in 1938, it was originally a large tank used by the Turkish Navy and subsequently sunk in May 2007 to create an artificial reef. Despite its history as a naval vessel, the wreck remains in good condition, providing a unique opportunity to explore underwater structures. Divers may encounter marine life such as moray eels, octopi, starfish, and grouper while exploring this site. The location is suitable for both novice and experienced divers.
