The Airbus A300 Wreck is a significant site for advanced divers. This 54-metre-long aircraft was sunk to create an artificial reef and now hosts a variety of marine life across its 44-metre wingspan.
Reef Dives Kuşadası offer exploration for all certified levels. These sites feature impressive reef formations and clear waters, with depths ranging from 5 to 40 metres.
Cave Dive Kuşadası provides a unique environment for divers of all levels to explore underwater structures. These sites offer a mysterious atmosphere and the chance to encounter local marine life like seals.
Akyar and Adakule Reef points are designated for beginner divers. These shallow sites, with a maximum depth of 6 metres, are ideal for those undertaking shore-based lessons or initial training sessions.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
The local reefs are home to a variety of common marine life, including crabs, octopuses, eels, and various nocturnal fish. These species are frequently encountered during night dives or when exploring the crevices of the reef.
In the cave systems, divers have the opportunity to encounter seals, which add a unique element to the exploration of these underwater structures.
The surrounding waters support a healthy ecosystem of Mediterranean species, which settle on both the natural reefs and the artificial structures like the Airbus A300 wreck.
Diving in the area is characterised by high visibility, which typically ranges between 20 and 30 metres. This clarity makes it an excellent location for both wreck penetration and reef observation.
For those performing shore dives at sites like Akyar, morning sessions are recommended to take advantage of the most stable weather conditions.
