Bubble Cave: chimney cave dive off Bodrum.
Bubble Cave is a Bodrum boat dive on the back side of Karaada with a chimney-shaped cave, a narrow entry, and a bright interior that turns a short traverse into a memorable route. It suits divers who want a compact cave profile, a torch-friendly swim-through, and a site where buoyancy and turn discipline matter more than distance.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Bring a torch for better viewing. Move through the chimney one by one and avoid kicking sponges; corals are described as fragile.
Access Restrictions
The cave is narrow and divers should move through one at a time; a torch helps and buoyancy control matters.
Legal Notes
Follow the guide's route order, avoid touching fragile coral and sponges, and do not force the chimney if traffic is stacked.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A torch is recommended, and divers should pass through the chimney one at a time.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the chimney and interior passages suit scuba more than breath-hold exploration.
Snorkeling
The interesting part is inside the cave, so snorkeling is not the main use case.
