About Akkum Burun
Akkum Burun is a demanding Mersin headland dive with a fast drop, a rocky start, and a sandy run toward open water. The site rewards experienced divers who are comfortable managing current and staying close to the planned exit, with enough structure to keep the dive lively as you work along the slope. Treat it as a serious profile that needs planning, tidy buoyancy, and constant awareness of where the flow is carrying you.

Local Intel For Akkum Burun
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for advanced divers due to the rapid depth increase and strong current, with depths commonly reaching 18–30 m.
Freediving
Only the shallowest edge makes sense for freediving; the site is mainly a scuba dive because the profile drops quickly and the current is strong.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallow edge. The main dive sits beyond comfortable snorkel territory once the headland drops away.
