About Kadirga Bay

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.
