Boat-access rocky rise in Canakkale for scuba divers who like anchors, fish-holding cracks, and a deliberate profile.
About Ancyra
Ancyra is a boat-access rocky dive site off Turkey's Aegean coast, built around a broad underwater rise and rock formations that reward slow scanning rather than fast cruising. Historic anchors, morays, grouper, and nudibranch life make it a detail-rich scuba dive for divers who like structure, photography, and deliberate exploration on a calm-weather boat day.
