Boat-only Kaş dive with a canyon route, cave and wreck on the outer slope; best for controlled divers who can manage current and fragile walls.
About Kanyon / Dimitri (Wreck)
Kanyon / Dimitri is Kaş's classic canyon-and-wreck dive, a narrow gorge with steep walls, a cave and the Dimitri wreck on the outer slope. The normal route drops through the canyon, then follows the right wall toward the wreck, so the site is as much about terrain as it is about the steel. It is a boat-only dive for controlled divers because southerly current, fragile canyon sides and the deeper wreck section all shape the plan. Clear water and dramatic rock structure make it a distinctive Kaş boat dive.
