Offshore bluewater training site with rare dolphins and little reef life.
Offshore bluewater training site with rare dolphins and little reef life.
This Bodrum bluewater training site is boat-accessed and usually calm, with very little reef structure and a clean open-water profile. It is designed for deep practice rather than scenery, with limited marine life, occasional pelagics, and very rare bottlenose dolphin visits. The experience is straightforward for confident divers and freedivers who want a low-current training setup.
