Sheltered Mersin shore entry for training, snorkel practice, and beginners.
Sheltered Mersin shore entry for training, snorkel practice, and beginners.
Yapraklıkoy is a sheltered shore entry from the beach that works well for training, snorkel practice, and nervous beginners. The bottom stays shallow and gradual, so it is easy to stay oriented and keep the session relaxed. Spring thermocline can make the water feel cold, so exposure protection matters more than depth planning. It is a comfort-first site rather than a biodiversity hunt.
