This site took its name from a famous sponge hunter “Aksona Mehmet” of Bodrum. It takes about 50 minutes by boat and is for advanced and open water divers. It starts at 3 meters and then goes down to 30-35 meters.
You might see octopuses, groupers, gold blotch groupers, barracudas, moray eels, and if you are lucky, thornback rays! Beware of reverse currents!
