A cliff-base cave dive in Antalya.
Heart Cave is a cliff-base cave dive in Antalya with a heart-shaped entrance and an air corridor, reached by boat and dived with certified teams. It is a specialist profile rather than a casual reef stop: expect advanced-only routing, occasional speedboat traffic, and a rock-first cave wall that draws lionfish, snappers, and groupers when the water is clear.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m
Depth Note
The verified entrance starts 10 m below the cliffs and the cave has an air corridor.
Best Season
April to November, with the calmest conditions usually late spring through early autumn.
Typical Conditions
A cliff-base cave profile with an air corridor, clear water on better days, and the smoothest diving when winds and currents are lighter.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay with the guide, keep buoyancy tight at the cave mouth, and give passing boats plenty of room on the surface.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; certified-diver handling is expected at the cave entrance.
Legal Notes
Local dive tours run this site as a managed attraction, so follow guide instructions and avoid touching the cave roof or cliff face.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A guided boat dive to a heart-shaped cave entrance under the cliffs; the air corridor and overhead geometry make buoyancy control important.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; it is a scuba-first cave site with an overhead section.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the draw is the underwater cave rather than a surface reef.
