| Diving in Turkey |
 |
It is only in recent years that the Turkish Riviera has
become a popular destination for divers from Europe. In tune with
the growth of tourism across the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts,
diving centres have mushroomed in most holidays resorts making this
coastline increasingly accessible to scuba divers. Dive centres
concentrate primarily on training, and many a holidaymaker has been
seduced by the silent world after an impromptu dive during a
vacation in Bodrum or Marmaris. The choice of diving available,
however, is quite varied and will appeal to experienced divers with
differing interests. Diving conditions are
excellent throughout the diving season -April to November- and clear
blue waters with viz. of up to 30 metre 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, morays, sting rays, and bream. The observant diver will
spot different types of nudibranchs grazing on marine plants and a
variety of other molluscs - some like the octopi not as tiny but
master of camouflage.
The area is rich with 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.
