life to experience whilst diving. Turkey
has a number of great dives with sponge
wall coverings, many varieties of
Nudibranches, Moray Eels, Sea Stars,
Octopus, Lobsters and much more in the
clearest of waters.
If you like it you can then pay to join a
Discover Scuba course, a perfect

A try-dive is included in your holiday at
our Beachplus Clubs in Orakent and Teos.
In addition to a try-dive, a wide range of
dive courses from Discover Scuba to a four
day PADi Open Water course giving you the
skills to continue diving are also pre-bookable
through us at a supplement.
You can combine scuba diving in Turkey
with wide range of other activities;
windsurfing, waterskiing, tennis and
mountain biking.
We recommend you to book early
with us to secure availability at the best
price - courses booked in resort may be
more expensive or fully booked.
Dive
Sites accessible from Ortakent.
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.
