About Stonehedge

Stonehedge is Kaş's boat-access archaeological dive site, built around a sunk replica of the Uluburun wreck and a protected in-water park. The layout mixes a sheltered bay edge, rocky structure, and open sand patches, so it rewards slow, controlled diving more than wide swim distances. Divers come for groupers, turtles, and other Mediterranean fish rather than reef color, and the site suits relaxed guided visits when the sea is settled.

Access Restrictions

Guided boat access is the normal route; shore entry is not the main plan.
