Kargı Island
Boat-only Bodrum drift site with a rugged reef and strong current.
Short boat runs reach a current-driven Aegean reef where structure, depth, and drift control matter more than easy sightseeing.
About Kargı Island
Kargı Island is a boat-only Bodrum drift site built around a rugged Aegean reef, steep rock faces, and a current-driven route that rewards experienced divers. The best dives here are about reading the flow, following the structure, and staying composed over deeper rock and wreck-adjacent terrain rather than treating it like a mellow sightseeing reef. Keep the plan tight and the gas margin generous.

Scuba Diving
Three route options are described, including a shallower left wall and a hidden reef farther from the island.
Freediving
Not a sensible freedive target; the current and depth profile are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-friendly site for casual visitors; the useful structure is too deep and the current is too strong for relaxed surface work.
