About Karaburun Küçük Ada Dalış Noktaları
Küçük Ada is the smaller of the two islands off Karaburun town and is reached in about five minutes by dive boat from the Karaburun dive schools. According to the Karaburun District Governorship it is an enjoyable area for divers of every level, with four dive sites around the island, all of them wall dives. Dive sites and depths, as listed by the governorship: - İzmir Burnu: 30 to 35 metres - İmbat Burnu: maximum 20 to 25 metres - Orta Parkur (middle route): maximum 20 to 25 metres - Hans Taşları: 30 to 35 metres What you see: large crevices and overhangs where moray eels live, octopuses, white sea bream, shoals of fish, lobsters and other crustaceans, sea hares in black, white and purple, and passing shoals of amberjack. Amphorae of various sizes and old anchors are a particular feature of this area. A local dive centre's SSI profile describes the Orta Parkur route as a wall dive that starts in front of the island, follows the wall on the right and runs from the shallows to about 25 metres, ending on a flat platform. The wreck of the former İzmir ferry 9 Eylül, sunk as an artificial reef in 2016, lies off Küçük Ada. Dive only with a licensed dive centre.
