Diving in Kemer

There are a few bays in the area which are ideal dive spots for dive courses and novice divers. For the more experienced divers there are some thrilling caves, caverns and tunnels to explore and an exciting wreck called Paris Wreck which lies at 29 metres and has been submerged for over a century. Another aspect of history is scattered on the sea beds here in the form of historical roman artefacts.
