Located in southern Turkey, Kaş is one of the best diving destinations in the Mediterranean, with dive sites that suit all levels of diving experience and offer a big variety of dives with modern wrecks, amphorae and anchors from ancient civilisations, rocky reefs, canyons, large caves and sea-grass meadows. The diverse Mediterranean fauna and flora of Kaş-Kekova Marine Preservation Area are further enriched by "lessepsian" species migrating from the Red Sea. Sea turtles will very often swim with you; even the very scarce Mediterranean monk seals are sometimes present. You will also find here an excellent underwater visibility and temperatures between 19°C (January) and 29°C (August) for diving all year around.
