Turkey
Sheltered gulf on the Turkish Lycian coast between Fethiye and Göcek, with cave and chimney dives such as Afkule, gentle reefs, ancient amphorae and the sunk coast guard vessel TCSG-121.
The Gulf of Fethiye is a sheltered bay on the Mediterranean coast of south-western Turkey, with the towns of Fethiye and Göcek on its shores. Best known for yachting, it is also an established dive area with several dive centres in Fethiye and Göcek, and a local dive guide maps more than 45 sites. The signature dive is Afkule, below old monastery ruins, where divers enter an open chimney or cave and continue along walls with small caverns at 25 to 30 m. The former coast guard boat TCSG-121 was sunk in 2012 as an artificial reef and lies on sand at 18 to 28 m. Other sites include Aquarium Bay with schooling barracuda, the easy slope of Dalyan Reef and a bay with Roman amphorae and swim-through tunnels. Loggerhead turtles are seen around the islands near Göcek. The season runs from April to November. Source: Wikipedia, PADI, Göcek Online, European Diving Centre
