We recommend you book in advance with us to secure availability at the best price - courses booked in resort may be more expensive or fully booked.

The Dive Sites

Big Reef

This is one of the most interesting sites offering a varied marine life. Big Reef rises dramatically out of the centre of Bodrum Bay up to a minimum deph of just 5m. Once the reef is located, the boat moors and from there, you start your circumnavigation of the reef. This is one of the best dive spots in Turkey with schools of barracuda, groupers, eels, octopus, colourful sponges and gorgonian fans.

Smuggler's Bay

Smuggler's is a small bay located on the southwestern side of Black island. It has a sandy beach with a shallow area perfect for beginners and then drops to 36m. Sheltered from winds and currents it is home to nudibranches, octopus, grouper, conga eel and interesting cave formations.

Aksona Point

To one side of the anchorage lies a large field of sea grass and sand, ideal for skills training beginners. To the other, a wall 30-35 metres offers a profusion of sea life but the strong current means it is only suitable for experienced divers

Bubble Cave

The entrance to the cavern is at 12m with an opening in the ceiling at 6m which enable divers to exit and view the bubbles rising from the cracks at the top of the cavern. The maximum depth of the area reaches 30m with lots of grouper and lobster.
