Sam Cave or Blue Cave

Dive Area

In Turkey, almost every cave was called the blue cave because of the blueness in front of them.

There are air pockets in the ceilings in both sections. The entrance is quite shallow; 5-8 metres. There are several enjoyable tunnels between 15-20 metres and you can pass through them. If you do not have an ear equalisation problem, you can go up into an air pocket, descend and dive again. This is a special room for sound and light. Make a safety stop and surface under the ceiling and into the air gap. Also, the stalactites on the ceiling are interesting. You can take out your regulator and talk. After a break, dive again, only go 3-5 metres and head out to your waiting boat.

Booming explosion sounds caused by waves on wavy days may scare you. If there is a swell, the sound of exploding waves and vapour is very impressive.
