About Poyraz Koyu
Poyraz Koyu is a boat-access dive bay on the back side of Karaada in Bodrum, reached by a short crossing from the marina side.

Local Intel For Poyraz Koyu
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The main line runs from the shallows down a rocky slope, with enough depth range for easy checkouts and longer exploratory dives.
Freediving
The shallow end can suit relaxed breath-hold practice on a calm day, but the site is mainly a scuba boat stop.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is most reasonable around the calmer surface section near the boat; the main draw is still the scuba route.
