Turkey’s coastline is long and diverse. It has rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, small islands, large islands and rock reefs all over. With superb wrecks, colourful sponges, steep walls and schools of fish, Turkey is the perfect place for a scuba diving holiday.
Some of the best scuba diving tours in Turkey can be found off the Bodrum peninsula. The scuba diving in Turkey is at its best at the confluence of the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Here there is a veritable clash of currents which ensures that Bodrum is packed with marine life, sponges and colour. Standard scuba diving tours in Turkey nearly always see the following marine life: Barracuda, grouper, wrasse, sea bream, octopus, squid, stingrays, nudibranchs and jackfish.
In addition to this, Bodrum has some excellent wreck diving with intentionally placed reefs and trading ships that have sunk over the past millennia. The intentionally sunk wrecks are exceptional in that they have been very carefully placed to allow multilevel diving from 36m to 12m. Always sunk in clear water areas, they give the underwater photographer great opportunities to photograph the whole wreck. Easy to penetrate, they also offer wonderful viewing platforms for observing large schools of fish. Each of Bodrum’s wrecks have now become enormous artificial reefs.
