Camel is a current-prone boat reef for experienced divers in Kaş.
Camel is a current-prone boat reef for experienced divers in Kaş.
Boat access and the line-return setup are normally handled by a Kaş dive school.
Camel is a compact reef in Kaş with two rounded humps and a mostly underwater profile that rewards experienced divers. The main loop circles the reef before dropping toward deeper water on the outer side, with the strongest hunting action often on the seaward slopes. Currents can be strong and the dive is normally run from a boat, with the safety stop taken on the anchor line. Expect a site that suits steady buoyancy, good gas management, and a taste for groupers.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Run it as a controlled reef loop, stay tight through the working side, and plan enough gas for the anchor-line return.
Freediving
Poor fit for freediving because it is boat-only, current-prone, and built around a scuba-style loop and line return.
Snorkeling
Not a strong snorkel site; the useful terrain sits deeper and the current makes a surface-only visit impractical.
