Heybeli Islands
Two islands, dozens of routes: a different Heybeli on every dive.
Two islands split by a very shallow pass; the boat ties in at the "outward" (east) or "inward" (southwest) side depending on the wind, opening up plenty of alternative dives: around the bigger island, around the smaller one, or on the southern reef. The southern reef with its rocks rising to 4.5 m and sandy slopes to the east, the diverse seagrass meadows, the rocky slopes east of the small island, the rubble northeast of the bigger island and the pass between the two islands each present their own rich ecology. Turtle encounters are very likely.
Honestly: the sea decides which site we dive on which day; the final call is made in the morning by our captain and instructors based on wind and sea. If this site is on your wish list, do tell us and we'll factor it into the plan.
