Big Reef

Also known as: Büyük Reef · Dalyan Reef · Barracuda Reef · Büyük Resif

Big Reef rises as a large wedge of rock half a kilometre off the coast and is known to some dive centres as Dalyan Reef or Barracuda Reef. Boats moor on its top, and divers head for the south-east corner where a steep, colourful wall falls away. The wall is covered in anemones and nudibranchs and full of cracks that hide morays and groupers, while a short tunnel lies near its deep end. Schools of barracuda, amberjacks and turtles are often seen, and stingrays have been spotted on the sand below. Currents can be strong, so it is worth checking them before the dive.
