Fener Altı is a boat-access reef off Black Island with rocky formations, a shallow start, and enough relief to keep both new and experienced divers engaged. It is known for octopus, stonefish, moray eels, and groupers, plus a rare white-coral note that stands out around the island. The site is about structure, color, and steady marine life rather than a wide open-water drift.
