About this site
The Prince Islands sit in the Sea of Marmara southeast of central Istanbul, a small archipelago reachable by ferry from the city, and better known for their car-free towns and coastline than as a dive destination. The dive site here follows a reef bottom and reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres, rated intermediate. Diving around the islands, including Buyukada and Heybeliada, remains a smaller draw than the surface attractions but offers a look at the rocky terrain beneath the Marmara waters.
