South of the Orfoz hotel near Maiden’s Castle in Susanoğlu, Orfoz is a compact Mediterranean point dive with shore access, a shallow profile, and a spring thermocline that can split the water column with a noticeable freshwater layer. The site suits divers who want a short local dive with easy entry logistics, modest depth, and changing conditions rather than a big reef or wreck profile.
