Izmir's Karaburun district, known for its sheltered coves and clean, crystal-clear sea, attracts thousands of diving enthusiasts every year with its diverse marine life and natural underwater ecosystem.
At diving spots in the area, various sea creatures such as moray eels, groupers, octopuses and sea hares can be seen.
The 9 Eylul city ferry, which holds memories for the people of Izmir and was sunk in 2016 as part of an artificial reef project, is also contributing to diving tourism.
