Big Reef

Dive Area

It is an excellent diving point, 3 miles from Fethiye Harbour, 500 metres from the mainland.

For Big Reef, the available site information, dive profile and daily briefing are considered together.

In good visibility, you can see the green-blue colour of the reef from afar and anchor to the peak at a depth of 10-15 metres. If the visibility is poor and if you don’t have GPS, it will be a little more difficult. It is useful to check the current before you start diving. Because the current can very violent from time to time and does not allow for a pleasant dive.
