Conditions
in Turkey are excellent throughout the diving
season -April to November- and clear blue
waters with viz. Of up to 30 meter is the
norm. The underwater landscape is varied
with reefs, walls, drop-offs and caverns.
Marine life may not be as profuse as that
found in tropical seas but on most dives
one will encounter a range of species of
fish including groupers, moray, stingrays,
and bream. The observant diver will spot
different types of nudipranch grazing on
marine plants and a variety of other molluscs
- some like the octopus not as tiny but
master of camouflage. The area is rich in
underwater historical artifacts. Coming
across a pile of broken amphora or ancient
pottery underwater is always an exhilarating
experience - a close encounter with the
history of these shores. But if you would
like to see an archaeological shipwreck,
then a visit to the Bodrum Castle which
houses the maritime archaeology museum is
advised.
Most
importantly;
Wreck diving is most popular program in
Turkey in recent years. World famous water
straight so called; " the Dardanelles"
