Key takeaways
- Presidential Decision 4138 of 24 June 2021 redrew the Kaş-Kekova protected area with 260 corner points, reaching west to the Beşadalar islets off Gata Burnu
- Boxes A13 to A16 of decision 2016/8743 close the west shore of Gata Burnu, the bay at Aperlae, a short stretch south of it and the water around Kekova island to all but scientific diving
- The dusky grouper may not be taken anywhere in Turkish waters, and the other groupers carry a one-fish limit for recreational fishers and a closed season from 1 June to 31 August
- Diving, lights, swimming in, waiting at the entrance and anchoring are all banned at coastal caves where the Mediterranean monk seal lives
- The Uluburun III replica sunk off Kaş on 27 October 2006 collapsed in 2009; the reconstructed cargo field 70 meters east of it is what divers visit now
Kaş-Kekova’s boundary was redrawn by presidential decision on 24 June 2021
The diving east and south of Kaş happens inside the Kaş-Kekova Special Environmental Protection Area, declared by Council of Ministers decision 90/77 of 18 January 1990. Its line has moved since. Presidential Decision 4138, signed on 24 June 2021 and published in the Resmî Gazete the next day, issue 31522, is one sentence long: the boundaries of the area are changed as shown in the attached sketch and coordinate list, under Article 9 of Environment Law No. 2872.
The annex lists 260 corner points, each given twice, in UTM on the ED50 datum and in WGS 84. The seaward edge is drawn in whole seconds. Off the Demre side it runs south from 36°11′52″N 29°56′49″E to 36°09′43″N, south-west to 36°06′24″N 29°48′33″E, west to 29°40′32″E, then north-west to a corner at 36°08′51″N 29°37′20″E.
From there the corners stop being straight lines. They hook round the Beşadalar islets toward Meis, reaching 29°36′49″E at point 30, about 80 meters from a corner of the Beşadalar no-fishing polygon described below. Then they climb onto the Gata Burnu peninsula south of the town, where several of them fall on the Lycian Way when plotted on OpenStreetMap.
That is why this page gives no area. The environment ministry’s leaflet says 257.83 km² and describes the area as beginning at Ulu Burun, east of Kaş. The Mediterranean Conservation Society says 258.30 km², of which 92 km² is sea. The 2021 corners reach west of the longitude of Kaş harbor itself, and neither source says which line it measured.
Four boxes between Kaş and Kekova are closed to all but scientific diving
The closed water comes from a different instrument, decision 2016/8743 of 5 April 2016, whose Article 1 allows no diving inside its mapped areas other than for scientific purposes. The Antalya diving guide covers the decision itself and the 2020 procedure for reopening a box. What matters here is which boxes are Kaş’s.
Four of the 21 Mediterranean boxes fall between Kaş and Kekova: A13 to A16. A11 and A12 lie further west, at 29°21′ to 29°26′E on the Kalkan side, and A17 to A20 sit at 30°23′ to 30°30′E on the Kumluca coast, from Cape Gelidonya to Olympos. Place names below come from plotting the published corners on OpenStreetMap; the coordinates are the law.
A13 starts on the shore at 36°10.200′N 29°37.835′E, about 100 meters from the tip of Gata Burnu, and runs to 36°09.570′N 29°38.640′E. The environment ministry names the same place in its own leaflet: because of archaeological remains, diving is prohibited on the western shores of Gata Burnu.
A14 is two shore points on the meridian 29°45.400′E, at 36°09.335′ and 36°08.550′N, a line across the bay that OpenStreetMap labels with the ancient site of Aperlae. The commercial fisheries text closes the water east of almost the same line. The ministry’s second named closure, Bohça İskelesi, lies east of it too: the recreational fisheries text places Bohça İskelesi at 29°46′36″ to 29°46′40″E.
A15 is a short box south of that, between 29°44.3′ and 29°45.9′E at about 36°07.5′N. A16 is the large one. Its corners sit on the Sıçak peninsula, twice on Kekova island, once at sea and once at Gökkaya on the mainland, which puts the water off the island’s sunken shore inside it.
A 2020 paper on Kaş by Güzden Varinlioğlu of the Underwater Research Society, citing earlier studies, adds that at some shallow heritage sites “such as Kekova sunken city, any form of intrusion, including swimming, is forbidden”. If a Kaş itinerary lists Kekova or Aperlae as a dive rather than a boat stop, ask which designation it relies on.
Where the 2024 fisheries rules stop all fishing around Kaş
No-take water around Kaş is set by the agriculture ministry, in two communiqués that run from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2028: 6/1 for commercial fishing and 6/2 for recreational fishing, both published on 11 August 2024. Recreational here includes the spearfisher: 6/2 defines an amateur underwater hunter as someone who fishes with a speargun on their own breath.
The commercial list, Article 4(1)(k), names eight places “in the Kaş district”: Üçağız harbor, Sıcak Deniz, Aperlia, Ufakdere, Beşadalar, İnceburun, Çondur Burnu and Bucak Denizi. Each is bounded by coordinates, and in each the taking of any aquatic product is prohibited.
The recreational list, Article 17(1)(ç), names six, and they are not the same six: Bohça İskelesi, Ufakdere, Beşadalar, İnceburun, Çondur Burnu and Bucak Denizi, the last with an exception for rod fishing from the shore. Üçağız, Sıcak Deniz and Aperlia appear only in the commercial list, Bohça İskelesi only in the recreational one.
Beşadalar is the one most divers will cross: a five-corner polygon between 36°08′52″ and 36°10′03″N, off the tip of Gata Burnu. The İnceburun zone is the water south of a line from 36°11′33.72″N 29°38′57.24″E to 36°10′59.46″N 29°38′31.62″E, which begins under a kilometer south of Kaş harbor.
Two general clauses close more. Fishing by diving is prohibited inside the 2016/8743 boxes, so A13 to A16 are closed to spearfishing whatever the local lists say, and it is prohibited in harbors, fishing shelters and haul-out places. Both communiqués have been amended since, on 16 April 2025 and 16 September 2026, and neither amendment touched the Kaş lists.
Kaş’s dusky grouper may not be taken, and other groupers are closed all summer
Grouper is what Kaş divers come to see, and the ministry’s leaflet explains why they are there. Among the 33 marine species it lists as conservation priorities in the western part of the protected area are Epinephelus aeneus and Epinephelus marginatus, the dusky grouper. The Posidonia and Cymodocea meadows are important growing areas for young fish, “especially grouper species”.
The dusky grouper, orfoz in Turkish, is closed outright. Table 1 of the recreational communiqué, as replaced on 16 September 2026, lists it among the species whose capture is completely prohibited. The commercial text says the same in five words: in all our territorial waters, dusky grouper fishing is prohibited.
The other groupers are lagos, and the recreational table, as amended on the same day, gives them two rows: Epinephelus aeneus, at least 50 centimeters, one fish; other Epinephelus species, no minimum size, one fish. Both are closed from 1 June to 31 August. The commercial fleet has the same summer closure and may never take lagos with traps, or with a harpoon or speargun while diving.
The speargun rules in Article 16(4) apply to anyone spearfishing off Kaş. No spearfishing between sunset and sunrise. No light, no tank, no hookah, no breathing device of any kind except a snorkel. A surface buoy marking the diver is compulsory, and since 1 January 2026 a spearfisher must also hold the amateur fisher certificate that records the diving method, issued by the provincial or district agriculture directorate.
Monk seal caves on the Kaş coast are closed to divers
The same leaflet lists the Mediterranean monk seal, Monachus monachus, among the priority species of the western protected area, alongside the loggerhead and green turtles. The recreational communiqué puts the seal on its list of species whose capture is completely prohibited, which is the part everyone expects.
The part divers miss is a clause about caves. Article 8(1)(c) of the commercial text and Article 17(2) of the recreational text say that in coastal caves with an underwater or surface entrance where the Mediterranean monk seal lives, using light, diving by any means, entering by swimming or by any vessel, waiting at the cave entrance and anchoring are prohibited. The recreational version adds hunting.
The clause names no caves. Its test is whether a seal lives there, not whether a sign says so. Sea caves are part of this coast’s diving, and the Underwater Research Society has studied the freshwater discharges and sea-cave formations around Kaş in an inventory project. Before a cave dive here, ask the guide whether seals use it. A seal cave is closed to lights and fins alike.
The Uluburun wreck off Kaş lies deeper than Turkish sport diving allows
The wreck that made Kaş famous in archaeology was found in 1982, when a Turkish sponge diver described “metal biscuits with ears” on the seabed near Kaş. They were copper oxhide ingots. The Institute of Nautical Archaeology dates the ship to about 1320 BC, give or take 15 years, and counts 354 copper ingots, carried with tin in the usual ratio of 10 to 1.
INA excavated it over 11 seasons between 1984 and 1994, logging more than 22,000 dives to depths in excess of 150 feet, about 46 meters. Varinlioğlu puts the share of the original ship recovered at about 3 percent. The ship was built of Lebanese cedar, with pegged mortise-and-tenon joints and a proto-keel rather than a true keel.
The depth settles the diving question before any box does. Article 10 of the 1990 regulation on sport scuba diving in Turkish waters sets the limit at 30 meters, and 42 meters for training dives. A site worked below 150 feet is outside both. INA publishes no coordinates for the wreck, so whether it also falls in a closed box cannot be read from the annex.
Kaş’s Uluburun replica collapsed in 2009, and its cargo field is what is left
What divers in Kaş can visit is the Archaeopark in Hidayet Bay, about 2.5 kilometers east of the town. Several non-profit organizations built a 15 by 5 meter ship, Uluburun III, in 40 days and sank it, with a replica cargo, on 27 October 2006, at 20 to 30 meters and about 20 meters from the shore.
The name matters. Uluburun III is the ship on the seabed. Uluburun II was a different boat, a sailing replica built at Urla near İzmir in 2004 that sailed the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Dive listings that call the Kaş site “Uluburun II” have the name wrong.
About 70 meters east of the ship, the original wreck site was laid out again at 14 to 21 meters on sand: a 13 by 9 meter rope grid holding 84 imitation amphoras, 150 copper ingots cast in concrete and stone anchors made of aerated concrete. Anchoring by dive boats tore up the grid, and it was replaced several times after 2006.
The ship itself was built to rot, and it did. It was made of pine rather than cedar, which the project could not afford. By 2008 the sail had gone and the ship had tilted to starboard, with shipworm eating into the outer planking. The hull collapsed in 2009. By 2010 only the cargo mound was intact, and in 2011 the photographic monitoring stopped because the decay was no longer visible enough to record.
The paper also measures what the town became. Dives in Kaş rose from 35,000 to 40,000 in 2006 to 60,000 to 65,000 in 2018. Visits to the Archaeopark peaked in 2011 and then fell, as the ship disintegrated and other objects were sunk nearby as attractions.
The Dakota sunk off Kaş in June 2009 has no agreed depth
One of those objects went down on 27 June 2009. A Kaş dive instructor told Anadolu Agency in 2019 that almost everyone who comes to dive here wants to see it.
The Demirören News Agency report of that day describes a C-47 Dakota cargo aircraft retired by the Air Force’s Kayseri Air Supply Command and given to the Kaş Underwater Society, towed out by a dive boat and sunk off İnceboğaz during the 12th International Lycia-Kaş Culture and Art Festival. A second report says it was given to the district governorship.
The same agency report gives it a length of 20 meters, a wingspan of 30 and a weight on land of 6.5 metric tons, and calls it Kaş’s seventh wreck. Some dive listings call it a DC-3; the reports of the day call it a C-47. Varinlioğlu’s paper, citing a local dive center’s list, names seven sunk attractions around Kaş, the Dakota among them, with a crop duster, a coast guard boat and a tank.
The depth is where the sources part. The two reports from the day give different shallow depths for where it was first set on its wheels, and both say it would be moved later to the Bayındır harbor area. Accounts from 2019 give other figures again. This page gives none. If the Dakota is the dive you are booking, ask the operator for the depth at the bottom and plan to that.
Decompression treatment for Kaş divers: the chamber Antalya’s health system lists
The Antalya Training and Research Hospital, a Ministry of Health hospital in Antalya city, publishes an Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine Center. The first two disease groups on its page are decompression sickness and air or gas embolism, and its treatment is the hyperbaric oxygen session.
The official pages read for this guide list no chamber in Kaş itself. That makes the operator’s emergency plan the document to ask for: which chamber it names, how a diver gets there, and whether it carries oxygen on the boat. The same question belongs in the fine print of your dive insurance.
Eleven dive centers in Kaş hold an SSI listing
The Kaş operator list holds 11 businesses, read on 1 September 2026, and all 11 come from SSI’s register of affiliated centers. A twelfth was removed by hand, because its register address is in Istanbul and only a coordinate placed it here.
The register’s town field is not much help in finding them. Nine entries carry the province name, seven as “Antalya” and two as “ANTALYA”, one carries “Kaş” and one “Antalya-Kas”. Ten publish a website in the register, though for one of them that field points back at its own register entry.
SSI rates five of the eleven for Freediving, five for Mermaid, two for Extended Range and one for freediving instructor training. Those are statements about each listing, not proof that a course runs this season. Varinlioğlu’s paper cites counts of 18 dive centers in 2010 and 20 in 2014, so one register does not cover the town, and which registers can be read sets out what the others returned. For the regional water temperature series and the rest of the 1990 rulebook, the Antalya guide carries both.
FAQ: scuba diving in Kaş
Can you dive at the Kekova sunken city near Kaş?
Not as a sport dive. Box A16 in decision 2016/8743 has corners on the Sıçak peninsula, twice on Kekova island, once at sea and once at Gökkaya on the mainland, which puts the water off the island's sunken shore inside it, and Article 1 of that decision allows only scientific diving inside its boxes. A 2020 paper in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology adds that at Kekova sunken city any form of intrusion, including swimming, is forbidden.
Can you dive the Uluburun wreck from Kaş?
Not within Turkish sport diving rules. The Institute of Nautical Archaeology excavated it over 11 seasons between 1984 and 1994, logging more than 22,000 dives to depths in excess of 150 feet, about 46 meters. Article 10 of the 1990 regulation on sport scuba diving in Turkish waters sets the limit at 30 meters, and 42 meters for training. What recreational divers visit is the Archaeopark replica in Hidayet Bay, about 2.5 kilometers east of the town.
Is spearfishing allowed around Kaş?
Only outside the closed places and under strict rules. The 2024 recreational fisheries communiqué closes Bohça İskelesi, Ufakdere, Beşadalar, İnceburun, Çondur Burnu and Bucak Denizi in the Kaş district, and fishing by diving is prohibited inside the 2016/8743 boxes and in harbors. Spearfishing is banned from sunset to sunrise, without a light or any breathing device except a snorkel, needs a surface buoy and, since 1 January 2026, an amateur fisher certificate recording the diving method. The dusky grouper may not be taken at all.
Is the Uluburun replica wreck in Kaş still there?
Only its cargo field. Uluburun III, a 15 by 5 meter pine replica, was sunk in Hidayet Bay on 27 October 2006 at 20 to 30 meters. Its hull collapsed in 2009, by 2010 only the cargo was intact, and photographic monitoring stopped in 2011. About 70 meters east, the reconstructed wreck site at 14 to 21 meters holds 84 imitation amphoras, 150 concrete copper ingots and aerated-concrete anchors. The sunk ship was Uluburun III, not Uluburun II, which was a sailing replica.
How deep is the Dakota plane wreck in Kaş?
The sources disagree, so no figure is given here. The C-47 Dakota was sunk off İnceboğaz on 27 June 2009. The two reports from that day give different shallow depths for where it was first set down and both say it would be moved later to the Bayındır harbor area, and accounts from 2019 give other figures again. Ask the operator for the depth at the bottom before you book the dive.
