About Burgazada Yelkenkaya
Burgazada Yelkenkaya is a boat-access island dive on the southern side of Burgaz Island in the Princes' Islands. It is commonly treated as an organized dive rather than a casual shore entry, and the appeal is the amount of small life packed into the area. Nudibranchs, wrasse, lobsters, and other reef creatures show up against a mixed seabed that feels more like a sheltered cove than an open-water wall.
