Erman Dive Center - Sea Garden Resort

Orak Island is 2 hrs from Bodrum and is very famous for its deep walls. Good for all levels as well as eXtended Range dives. Another dive spot around the island is the Orak reef. Also very rich in aquatic life.

On the south end of the Black Island, a very protected bay is popular for divers. Three different dive options. Left side is good for OW & AOW divers. Right side is good for entry level divers. Inside the bay a very shallow sandy bottom is ideal for training. Only bad when south wind is blowing. Boat traffic!

This site took its name from a famous sponge hunter “Aksona Mehmet” of Bodrum. It takes about 50 minutes by boat and is for advanced and open water divers. It starts at 3 meters and then goes down to 30-35 meters.

On the south side of Black island, towards Datça there is a small rock in the open sea. There are strong currents and mostly windy. West side is more suitable for diving. There is a memorial statue of late businessman Mustafa Koç and the seal named Badem rehabiltated with his support.

Poyraz Koyu is located on the back of the Black Island and takes about 45 minutes by boat. Poyraz means Northeast wind in Turkish. Following the right side, a nice slope brings you down to the first rocky reef at 16 m.

This dive site is popular with those who like to do deep and drop-off dives. The site is between Pınar-1 wreck and Poyraz Bay. It is usually windy and choppy. The dive site has a drop-off first down to 17 m then to 45+ m.
