 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.
