About Big Reef
Big Reef is a Bodrum boat dive with a shallow top, a steep wall facing Black Island, and a long list of Mediterranean life. It rewards steady buoyancy and route awareness as the reef drops from the top of the hill into the deeper wall, and it suits divers who want a classic Aegean profile with plenty to see and enough structure to make each pass interesting.
