Thank you for visiting Atami Hotel,one of the finest boutique hotels in Bodrum,Turkey

There are more than 15 dive points around Bodrum with typical Aegean and Mediterranean flora and fauna. Shallow water diving points offer dives without currents but full of fish for first timers, while some deeper points have small currents for experienced divers.
There are two reefs with depths ranging from 7 to 40 meters. They are full of fish with good chances for photography. There are two caverns one at 12 meters, a buble cavern. Other one is at 6 meters with air in it, walls reflecting different shades of deep blue. Drop-offs allows you to discover something different.
At times visibility reaches up to 40 meters meaning that you are now diving in crystal clear waters, literally! Rock formations in the dive points offer shelter for groupers, octopuses, learfish, barracudas and other different creatures. You also may see amphoras and antique anchors which are more than 2000 years old.
• Big reef: 20 minutes by boat. Depth to the south is 32 meters and to the north 36. Groupers, barracudas, learfish and octopusses are the head actors of the reef. You may even come across a caretta turtle if you are lucky.
• Small reef: 200 meters from the high reef towards Bodrum, sharing the same habitat with the high reef. Both reefs are waiting for you to show how endless blue looks like.
• Poyraz Cavern: Not a cave but a cavern... Entrance is at 6 meters and there is air in it. We call this the Seal Cavern as we have seen seal in the area on occasion.
• Bubble Cave: Bubble Cave in Karaada have its' entrance at 12 meters and its' ceiling is at 6. The air bubbles you produce escapes from the holes in the ceiling producing amazing scenary. You'll love this one...
• Kargi Island: 500 meters from the tip of Akyarlar, one of the closest points to the Greek Islands. Diving point at the Gökova side of the island starts at 20 meters and with a gentle slope goes down to 36. One must pay attention to the surface and deep currents towards Cos.
• Köçek Island: Dive points at this rocky island, about a nautical mile from Bodrum, has depth of 10 meters at the side towards land, and 20 - 22 meters at side towards Greek Islands. At the Gökova side of the island depth reaches up to 34 - 36 meters. There are abundance of amphorae remains, and a lot of fish, mostly blackeyed bream.
• Kaçakçi Bay: This bay at the Aegean side of Karaada is adviced as a training site for experienced divers.
• Yassikaya Island: This is a rocky island suitable for diving. It is located 500 meters from Karaada to the direction of Gökova. In the area there are a lot of sea creatures including octopussy.
• Orak Island: Located in the Gökova Bay, it takes about 1,5 hours to reach this island with boat. It is the furthermost dive point in Bodrum area. Even though there are not a lot of fish to see, the sea bottom is topographically interesting. At both sides of the island depth reaches up to 70 meters.
