Çandarlı Dive Sites: A Northern Aegean Guide

A dive site is more than a point on the map. In Çandarlı, changing light, rocky underwater features and the natural rhythms of the sea give each area its own character.

Kız Kulesi: A local name documented in earlier reports. Its profile explains the historical context and the limits of the available site information. Kara Ada: Listed among the local sites described by Sırrı Özşen; precise identification needs confirmation.
İki Banko: Two underwater banks mentioned in a 2013 interview; local names and their distinction are being checked.
Maltepe Burnu: A location near Denizköy referred to in historical local dive accounts.

The individual site profiles bring together historical accounts and local naming context. They are not navigation plans: precise locations, current permissions and participation requirements must be checked with the centre for the day of your visit.

The suitability of any site depends on the conditions of the day and the diver's qualifications. Contact the centre for current plans rather than relying on a static online description.
