Where we dived
Büyük Taş Koyu is a sheltered coastal dive site in Turkey, offering relatively easy access to the water and a combination of rocky seabed and sandy areas. The protected setting makes it a comfortable place to explore at a relaxed pace, particularly when conditions outside the bay are less favourable.
The dive is mainly about exploring the rocky formations and looking for marine life around the cracks, overhangs and sandy patches. The site is not about dramatic depth or big pelagic encounters, but it offers enjoyable Mediterranean diving with plenty to look at when you slow down and explore the reef.
