At Mezarlığı is a steep Büyükada wall dive in the Princes’ Islands.
At Mezarlığı is a steep Büyükada wall dive in the Princes’ Islands, known for a sudden drop and a classic Marmara profile. It is better treated as a calm-weather boat dive, with the site often used for training, trial, and deeper practice dives. The draw is straightforward structure, good buoyancy work, and the chance to see more life once you move below the surface haze. Wind and surface chop are the main planning limits, not a long swim or complicated route.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A steep wall and quick descent make At Mezarlığı a good buoyancy and depth-control dive, especially on calm days.
Freediving
Not a casual freedive target; the wall drops quickly and the site is better as a coached scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first spot because the interesting structure sits below the surface haze.
