Home to Kalkan Dive Centre and a great place to learn to dive due to the shallowness of the area. Because it being buoyed off, fish proliferate in the bay. Cow, double banded, stiped, saddled, annular, sharpnose and white sea bream. Rainbow, ornate, cleaver and peacock wrasse. Brown, painted and normal comber.
Dusky, mottled, goldblotch and dogtooth groupers. Damselfish, Barracuda, striped and boxlip mullet. Med, tiger and brown morays. Common and white spotted octopus. Common stingray, eagle ray and butterfly ray. Loggerhead turtle. Amberjacks, bonito and pompano all going after the sand smelt. Blue-spotted cornetfish, and garfish. Sqirrelfish, cardinalfish, scorpionfish, bastard grunts, guelly jacks, parrotfish, spinefoots(rabbitfish), vanikoro sweeper as well as other smaller fish. If you ever wanted somewhere to see a lot of different fish this is it. Close to shore it is rocky dipping down to 10m where the sand starts. Currents are rare and the visability is generally 15m+ dropping to 10m at the height of summer, end of August in the afternoon and reaching 30c water temperature. The beginning of July sees a surface temperature of 22c.
