This dive site is a fascinating artificial reef created by sinking a replica of the Uluburun shipwreck. The wreck itself provides a unique and intriguing landscape for divers to explore, offering numerous swim-throughs and crevices. The replica was strategically placed to encourage marine life colonization, and it has become a thriving habitat for a variety of species. Navigation is straightforward, with the wreck remaining largely intact and easily visible.
The site is teeming with marine life, including grouper species, sea turtles, lionfish, Mediterranean damselfish, bonito, pufferfish, and cornette fish. Divers can expect to see a rich diversity of fish and other invertebrates inhabiting the wreck and surrounding area.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months, from May to October, when the water is clearest and the marine life is most active. For freedivers, the relatively shallow depths and calm conditions make this site ideal. Divers should always check weather conditions and current strength before heading out, and maintain safe diving practices.
