Aquarium Reef

Aquarium Reef is a reef dive off Fethiye in Turkey, with a sandy bay of rocky outcrops where the boat waits. Divers are dropped on top of the reef, where the bottom is at 8 metres. After a short swim the reef drops off to more than 30 metres and divers follow the wall along its edge.

At the end of the wall the dive comes back up onto the reef top, where several large pinnacles are home to moray eels, crabs and lobsters. Look out into the blue, where groups of adult and juvenile barracuda are nearly always hunting. After one or two circuits of the pinnacles you swim back to the boat for the safety stop. Less experienced divers can tour the small aquarium reef for many of the same sights.
