One of the most popular dives from Fethiye. The top of the cave is visible from the boat and everyone usually jumps in and waits on the surface before all descending together. Inside the cave which is like an open sided chimney you can descend on either side and explore the interior. 20 years ago there was lots of neptune's lace coral, now unfortunately a lot has gone. Staying away from the sides and having great buoyancy is paramount here. The bottom is around 45m sloping away even deeper. Exiting the cave turn left and follow the wall around to the Hamam. Here good buoyancy is also required as the wall bottom out at 40+m before sloping away too. It's about 100m to reach the Hamam and it is important to do a safety stop before surfacing inside the cave which is open at the top. Great place for some photographs. Dive again and rejoin the boat outside in the small bay.
