Cavern Reef, located in the Bubble Cave Area near Turgutreis, offers a combination of open reef diving and cavern exploration. The site ranges in depth from 15 to 35 metres, with an average of 25 metres. Divers experience mild currents and visibility between 10 and 30 metres. The overhead environment within the cavern requires careful buoyancy control to avoid sharp rock edges and entanglement hazards. Access is by boat only, and guided tours are recommended for those unfamiliar with the cavern layout, turn-around points, and torch use. Water temperatures fluctuate between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Book a guided boat charter rather than entering the cavern independently, as the overhead sections require a briefing on turn-around points and torch use that a local guide will provide. Air fills and equipment rental are available, so you can travel light, but confirm your booking in advance during peak summer months.
Accessible by boat in 20 minutes from the dive centre.
