KAŞ TÜNEL

Büyük Mağara is a large cave, the ceiling is 32m tall and the bottom descends to below 40m. This site is for experienced divers only. Lights and a cool composition are a must! The entrance is easily found going west from the point, but it cannot be seen without descending in front of the overhang at 27m.

Sandy areas and seagrass meadows surround this small reef, teeming with small fauna, especially when the water starts warming up. The top of the reef is at 16 meters. Highlights of this site are the friendly groupers that are accustomed to divers and the exceptional amphorae artifacts.

Oasis consists of a rock that rises up to 16 meters in the middle of the sand. Groupers and lagos are abundant here and are used to divers. You will find unique amphoras in the cracks of the rock. There is a wooden shipwreck just below the rock to explore as well.

The Canyon - Dimtri Wreck is number one in Kaş. Fish may not always abound at this very popular site but the sights are worth it. Please do not touch anything while diving.

This site is best suited for experienced divers as strong currents are normal. You will have to make your safety stop on the anchor rope. The top of the reef sits at 14 meters and there are two bumps like camel’s humps to explore, hence this site’s name.

You may dive at the deeper “outward” (east) or the “inward” (southwest) side of these 2 islands separated by a very shallow passage. The southern reef, with its rocks elevating to 5m and its eastern sandy slopes, has diverse sea-grass meadows, rocky slopes around the islands, and small shallow reefs to the east.

At Pina Reef the dive-boat anchors either to the northeast of the island or on the wall. Between the island and the wall is a shallow sandy area with a multitude of small rocks that are home to a rich colony of pen shells and the sea turtles that eat them. The northwest end of the wall gets deeper as a rock-sand slope.

Here in the quiet bay of Limanağsı lies the wreck of an old Dakota. The plane was sunk especially for diving. It stands in the sandy bottom between 16 and 24 meters depth. The interior can be dived without danger.

Being the closest in distance to Kaş makes Fener a very popular dive site. It is a very diverse site. If you head east underwater you will find the “Ottoman wreck” to explore. It has a worn wooden spine and mails at 23 meters with a large water jug.

Kas is a beautiful seaside town in Turkey right on the Mediterranean Sea. There are many fantastic dive sites along this coastal town offering crystal clear water and thriving marine life.
