Scuba Diving in Turkey

Turkey is surrounded by sea on three sides, by the Black Sea in the north, the Mediterranean in the south and Aegean Sea in the west. In the northwest there is also an important internal sea, the Sea of Marmara, between the straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, important waterways that coonect the Black Sea with the rest of the world. Within the seas of Turkey, divers can discover a fascinating submerged world, from underwater caverns to sunken ships and even the remains of ancient cities. The only areas prohibited from diving are military zones, those conducting scientific research and areas under protection.
