Kalkan has at least 14 excellent dive sites including islands, reefs and walls.
The visibility at all of the dive sites is usually
excellent, often in excess of 25-30m. Water temperatures range from
about 18oC in April to 30oC in August. Tidal streams are negligible or
very modest, except where stated to the contrary.
A large variety of marine life is found here: groupers, sardines,
moray eels, turtles, stingrays, barracudas, sea bream, rainbow wrasse,
damsel fish, bonita, sea mullet, starfish, octopus, dolphins, nurse
sharks, squid, mackerel and more.
Most of these animals are commonly
seen in the clear waters around Kalkan. Other items of interest
include ancient pottery remains and an old wreck of a steamship.
