Neco Bay
Sheltered Bodrum bay with a shallow wall and easy training water.
A calm shore bay in Bodrum for try scuba and entry-level training, with a shallow rocky start, a deeper wall, and generally low-current water.
About Neco Bay
Neco Bay is a sheltered Bodrum bay with a shallow rocky left side that eases into a deeper wall and sandy plateau. It is a good fit for try scuba and entry-level training because the bay usually stays calm in the right weather window and the current is typically very light. Plan for a relaxed shore dive, choose calm days when southerly weather is not pushing chop into the bay, and keep the deeper wall for comfortable buoyancy work rather than an aggressive depth push.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for try scuba, entry-level divers, and open water/confined-water training skills. A wall section drops to about 30–35 m and leads to a sandy plateau.
Freediving
Not a main freedive site; if used at all, keep it to the calm, shallow bay and treat the deeper wall as scuba territory.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is most useful in the shallow, sheltered part of the bay. The wall and deeper plateau are better left to scuba.
