Experienced Diving

Kalkan has at least 15 excellent dive sites including islands, reefs and walls.
The visibility at all of the dive sites is usually excellent, often in excess of 25-30m. Water temperatures range from about 18oC in April to 30oC in August. Tidal streams are usually negligible or very modest. A large variety of marine life is found here: groupers, sardines, moray eels, turtles, stingrays, barracudas, sea bream, rainbow wrasse, damsel fish, bonito, sea mullet, starfish, octopus, dolphins, nurse sharks, monk seals, squid, mackerel and more. Most of these animals are commonly seen in the clear waters around Kalkan. Other items of interest include ancient pottery remains and an old wreck of a steamship.
