About Bilge Taş Mağarası (Büyük Mağara)
Bilge Taş Mağarası (Büyük Mağara) is a large Turkish cave dive with a wide opening, a cavern-like entrance gallery, and a tighter inner doorway that turns the dive into an overhead route rather than an open reef. The appeal is the geometry of the chambers, the clear-water atmosphere, and the marine life tucked into the rock, from shrimp and crabs to grouper and lionfish. Plan on disciplined buoyancy, lights, and gas management, because this is an experienced-diver cave dive and not a casual sightseeing swim-through.
