Kaş is Turkey's flagship Mediterranean dive town.
Dive centers are the normal way to reach the site mix, even though some spots are shore-accessible.
Kaş is a Mediterranean dive town on Turkey's southwest coast, known for clear water, rocky scenery, and a large mix of reef, wreck, cave, and amphora sites. Divers can choose easy shore sessions, boat dives, or longer liveaboard-style trips depending on the site. The area suits both newer divers and people who want more advanced profiles, with visibility often being one of the main draws. It is best treated as a flexible dive base rather than a single dive spot.
