About Karaburun Dalış Merkezi

Karaburun Dalış Merkezi is a dive centre on Bodrum beach in Karaburun town, near the tip of the Karaburun peninsula north-west of İzmir. It is a registered SSI (Scuba Schools International) centre and is listed among the TSSF-authorised dive centres in İzmir province. Programmes listed on its SSI profile include: - Scuba diving courses and snorkel diver training. - Freediving. - Mermaid courses. - Lifeguard and swimming training. - Emergency first aid and marine ecology courses. Karaburun's best-known dive sites lie a short boat ride from the town: the islands of Büyük Ada and Küçük Ada, with wall dives and more than a dozen named routes, and the wrecks of the former İzmir ferries Alaybey and 9 Eylül, sunk off the islands in 2016 to form artificial reefs. On its SSI page the centre describes the Alaybey wreck as home to shoals of amberjack and bream, and the Küçük Ada middle route as a wall dive from the shallows to about 25 metres. The centre's website was being renewed when checked but gives the address, phone and email. SSI lists it as open 09:00 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday.
