MARMARIS DIVE SITES
Divers Delight Bay
This bay offers a selection of three dives from novice to experience. For novice divers or your second dive of the day we recommend the 12 meter dive which is abundant in marine life and also offers swim troughs, hard and soft corals as well as caves and tunnels for the experienced diver. The 18 meter dive offers 2000 year old amphoras and the chance to encounter Groupers, Moray eels, Jacks, Ray's, and Octopus. This dive can also be done as a multilevel dive and combined with the 12 meters dive.
The 30 meter dive is for the experienced diver, and as you make your way down the drop off, you will come to a reef where you will see a 2000 year old anchor and also amphora. As you work your way around the reef you will come across a family of Groupers that will stay there until you get within a few meters, when they will disappear into there home. This area is also frequented by Rays.
The Wall
On this dive you will be dropped to the right of the wall and the best way to dive this is to keep your depth at around 18 meters, where you will see the wall covered in hard and soft coral. The bottom depth of this dive is 45 meters off the wall. Therefore, buoyancy control is essential. Here you will also get the chance to see an abundant amount of marine life, sometimes we get the occasional Tuna, large Groupers and Jacks. Towards the end of the wall the depth rises to around 12 meters where you will find an open cave that rises above the surface, this is where the boat will be waiting to collect you.
Kadırga Rock
Kadırga rock is a well known favorite in Turkey as on this dive there are some interesting archaeological finds. The rock rises from the water and the boat will anchor up here to let you kit up and be in the same place at the end of the dive. Your guide will take you down to around 15 meters where you will see hundreds of amphora. Although nearly all of them are smashed, you can still see the odd one intact. You will then make your way round the rock to a place were you will see a very large Grouper that is nearly always there. Please refrain from taking these amphoras as it is against the law. On Kadırga Rock you can see a wide variety of marine life and you can also find anchors around the rock that date back thousands of years.
Chimney Cave
Chimney cave is a wonderful dive. At this dive site where the boat moors up to the reef, the stunning back drop of the mountains really hits you, not to mention the stunning underwater topography. The dive here is a multilevel dive that takes you around a wall and as you keep your depth at around 18 meters you make your way round the reef. After 20 minutes, turn round on a reciprocal bearing and swim up to 15 meters where you will come across a gully. At the top of the gully is a cave, that on entry, you can look up and see a hole in the roof. This exit hole is quite large so you can pass through it safely. On exiting the cave you are now at 7 to 8 meters where you can take it nice and easy along the top of the reef and take in the beauty that the Aegean sea has to offer.
NIGHT DIVES are also available.
A 30 meter maximum depth limit is put on all dives!
Group packages are available on request. Our package deals can be tailored to suit anything from large clubs to small groups and individual divers diving over a couple of days.

Blue World operates right from the beach of Ölüdeniz. With its pine-wooden mountains, gorgeous lagoons, pristine white beaches, clear warm waters and countless species of fish, Цlьdeniz not only offers easy access to over twenty excellent dives sites, it is also an ideal starting point for other holiday activities
DIVE SITES
Turkey's main scuba diving area is the west and south coast in the Mediterranean. Conditions are generally excellent throughout the diving season from April to November with visibility up to 30 m and water temperature well above 20° C. Marine life is less abundant than in tropical seas but nevertheless includes a remarkable diversity. Observant divers may be able to catch a glimpse of groupers, rays, moray eels, turtles, octopi, and even seahorses in some areas - and there is an abundance of gorgeous nudibranch and coral species.
Scuba diving in Turkey is unique with respect to underwater landscape. In particular in the region of Цlьdeniz, the mountains of Taurus steeply drop down into the Mediterranean ( from the 3073 m peak "Kızlar Sivrisi" down to one of the deepest sites of the Mediterranean, 4482 m below sea level ). Accordingly, underwater landscape is typically a varied selection of stupendous reefs, walls, and drop-offs. The wearing limestone forms numerous arcades and caverns. However, in front of valleys and bays you can also find shallow sites for those wanting to learn scuba diving.
Another attraction for scuba divers are the numerous wrecks around the coast of Turkey, both modern and ancient. Many sites also boast amphora and other pottery remains. Some of them are protected by law but more and more are being opened up for scuba diving.
Good visibility, warm water, underwater landscape features, quality accommodation, and a good range of activities for non divers make Turkey a good option for scuba divers of all abilities.
