Marmaris is a coastal town in southwestern Turkey and a popular base for Mediterranean Sea diving. Located on the Turkish Riviera in Muğla Province, it offers access to several boat-diving sites along the coast, including beginner-friendly dives and some deeper reef and wall sites reachable by day trips. Local centers typically provide shore and boat dives, equipment rental, and courses, with water usually warm in summer and visibility varying seasonally. The area also serves as a gateway to nearby marine parks and protected reefs, with marine life common to the Eastern Mediterranean region.
