Akyar Duvar
Mersin wall dive with current and abrupt drop-off.
Akyar's wall section needs strong buoyancy and group control, with early starts preferred when the current is calmer.
About Akyar Duvar
Current-driven Mediterranean wall dive on the Akyar coast in Silifke, with a sudden drop, exposed open-water conditions, and enough relief to make buoyancy discipline essential. Best for experienced divers who are comfortable with tight group spacing, conservative turn points, and changing visibility when the flow picks up.
