The underwater part of the bay consists of several tunnels and caves. The minimum immersion depth near the lighthouse is 3 meters, and the maximum is 18 meters. At a depth of 9 meters there is an underwater tunnel approximately 5 m wide, in which many sea creatures live (sea tulips, colorful coral reefs, moray eels, sea worms, octopuses, sea scorpions, sea hares, sea cucumbers (holothurias). Beauty of the underwater world in the tunnel of the bay near the lighthouse is just amazing!

Sunken ship Paris

It takes about 7 minutes to get to this dive point by boat. The ship is scuttled at a depth of 21 - 31 m and lies on the sandy seabed.

The crash occurred in 1917, the ship was flooded during the First World War by troops under the command of Mustafa Ertugrul. In the damaged vessel there are about 10 holes, and now they can be examined by divers.

The length of the sunken Paris is 65 meters, its width is 14 meters. The entire surface of the ship is covered with marine vegetation, because it has been under water for more than hundred years. In the holds live moray, octopus, starfish.

A significant amount of coal (the ship had a steam engine) and combat missiles is still on board, so only internationally certified divers can dive at this point.

The sunken ship Pati

The Georgian ship Paty lost control and crashed on the rocks   near the coast of Kemer on January 1, 2001. Part of the ship immediately plunged into the water, the other - caught on the coastal cliff and is still “moored” to it. The length of the sunken ship is 15 meters. The ship transported immigrants from Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The sunken part of the ship is at a depth of 5-12 meters, only divers with international certification can dive there.

Three islands

Not far from Tekirova there are small islands, which are a good area for diving. The islands have gained popularity because of the abundance of places to dive, the presence of different depths, rich for the Antalya seabed, clear visibility and proximity of many dive centers. They are located approximately in 45 minutes from the marina of Kemer.

Rafting

To do rafting, you do not need to be a professional in this area. On a hot summer day, you can find yourself in the cool water of a canyon among greenery and amazing nature.

The canyon

Koprulu (Köprülü) Canyon National Park is Turkey’s most popular watersports area. The national park is perfect for hiking, or to explore the ancient ruins, or just to enjoy the dramatic Mediterranean scenery. Koprulu Canyon National Park is at the middle of many natural beauties in a fertile valley. Koprulu Canyon continues for 14 km along with the Kopru River, reaching a maximum height of 400 m.

Koprucay River winds its way down from the Taurus Mountains. Forging its way through a number of striking canyons, the flow is fed by underground springs, becoming a mighty river that eventually empties into the Mediterranean Sea. This river is known around Turkey and the world as a prime rafting spot, and a number of tour operators offer rafting trips and even more adventurous activities among the canyons and gorges. The Koprucay forms the backbone of one of Turkey’s most beautiful recreation areas, enhanced by the scattering of ruins and artefacts along the riverbank. The Koprulu Canyon National Park covers 36,000 hectares, including part of the river. It’s also home to Turkey’s largest forest of Mediterranean Cypresses, which in turn house deer, goats, boars, bears, wolves, foxes, rabbits and a huge variety of birdlife. In the river itself, red speckled trout rub shoulders with the grey mullet.
