Calm bay dive in Silifke with yacht traffic and sand.
Hitit Koyu is a calm bay dive in Mersin's Silifke area with a sandy bottom, no current, and frequent private-yacht traffic at the surface. The terrain is simple rather than reef-heavy, so the main planning focus is staying relaxed on the bottom while keeping clear surface awareness and a float ready for passing boats. Visibility can soften at times, which makes this a better low-stress beginner dive than a site for complex route planning or hard current management.
