Sheltered boat wall with amphora fragments.
Frenk Bay is a sheltered boat dive off Kalkan with a wall-and-reef mix, ancient amphora fragments on the seabed, and a reputation as a calm fallback when southerly winds roughen nearby sites. It suits newer divers moving into wall diving, with a shallow top, clear water, and a relaxed boat-briefed setup.
