Dive-site story
Sunk intentionally off Karaada near Bodrum, the decommissioned Turkish Coast Guard patrol boat TCSG-115 rests upright on sand. The steel hull functions as an artificial reef, drawing pelagic species alongside structure-dwelling fish. Divers can circumnavigate the exterior decks, inspect the wheelhouse, or enter corridors prepared with wide access cuts.
