Rocky Marmaris bay with amphora terrain.
Use a Marmaris dive boat; the cove has no road connection and is easiest to handle as a guided trip.
Kadirga Bay is a remote Marmaris boat dive with a rocky approach, amphora-strewn seabed, and a deeper line offshore. It suits divers who want archaeology, clear Mediterranean water, and a relaxed day-boat profile rather than a coral reef or a simple swim-through. Calm surface conditions and lighter boat traffic make it easier to enjoy.

Keep clear of surface traffic, maintain buoyancy around the archaeology, and treat the deeper line with respect.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a slow boat dive across the shallow edge and into the amphora field offshore.
Freediving
The shallow edge can be explored, but scuba is the better fit for the full site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling only works on the shallow edge; the deeper archaeology is a scuba target.
