Morning light pins the bay as the dive boat slips from Fethiye's marina and the shoreline dissolves into carbonate cliffs and scattered islets. The water here reads turquoise, but below the surface it is an evolving landscape—limestone drop-offs, sandy plates and pockets of Posidonia seagrass that cradle Mediterranean life.

History
The Fethiye coast was part of ancient Lycia (Telmessos) and many dive sites sit near islets that once sheltered trading and fishing hamlets.
Conservation
Anchoring and diver contact stress local reefs—use operators that employ mooring buoys, avoid feeding wildlife, and prefer reef-safe sunscreens.

Hydrate before boarding
Drink water before pickup and between dives — dehydration increases the risk of decompression problems.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before arrival to protect marine life and avoid greasy suits that slide.
Prepare for motion
Bring motion-sickness remedies if you’re prone to seasickness; plan to sit in the middle of the boat and look at the horizon.
Follow instructor briefings
Stick to planned dive profiles and communicate early about buoyancy or ear-equalization issues.
