About Kalamia Koyu
Kalamia Koyu is a sheltered Mersin bay dive reached by boat or small craft, where the main planning issue is heavy boat traffic rather than a sudden drop-off. The bottom is sandy and the route stays gentle enough to work for newer divers, but disciplined finning matters because silt can cloud the water quickly, especially when the bay is busy.
