Sheltered Bodrum training site for line work.
Medfish OW is a sheltered open-water training site in Bodrum built for structured freediving and scuba drills rather than scenery. It is set up for repeating skills in a calm, controlled way, with shore or boat access and enough protection from wind and swell to make training practical when conditions are right. The site is about line work, breathing control, and repetition, not fish spotting.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Conditions may be rough at times; plan sessions accordingly, especially for deeper and FRC training.
Access Restrictions
This is a training site rather than a casual reef dive, so the calm window and the chosen entry method matter more than wildlife viewing.
Legal Notes
Follow Medfish and local Bodrum boat or shore rules for training sessions, depth progression, and session timing.
