About Alaybey Batigi
Alaybey Batigi is the Karaburun wreck dive built around the sunken Alaybey ferry, now serving as an artificial reef with schooling fish, shaded wreck structure, and rope-lined sections that reward slow, careful movement. The site suits guided boat dives, steady buoyancy, and wreck-aware planning more than fast covering of ground. Expect a compact profile, open-water exposure, and conditions that can change with wind or sea state.
