Pinar 1 Wreck artificial reef in Bodrum
Use a Bodrum dive center familiar with the wreck and the entry/exit window.
Pinar 1 Wreck is a boat-access Bodrum wreck and artificial reef with a shallow start, a deeper stern and wheelhouse, and rock structure nearby. It suits divers who want a compact Aegean wreck with strong fish life and enough depth to reward careful planning. The site is not a casual sightseeing stop; it is better when current, sea state, and team discipline are all in line.
