About this spot

Shark Sculpture sits off Çukurbağ Peninsula in Kaş, Antalya Province, Turkey, making it accessible to divers exploring the Mediterranean coast. The site's main draw is the sculpture itself—an unusual underwater feature that sets it apart from typical reef or wreck dives in the region. Year-round conditions mean you can plan a visit almost any season, though summer and early autumn typically offer the best sea state and visibility for exploration. The location benefits from an engaged diving community that has documented observations and created video content, giving you reliable intel before you go. Community contributors have logged 12 species observations and uploaded 3 videos, so check local sources for recent conditions and what marine life to expect. Kaş is a well-established dive hub with reasonable access to multiple sites, and Shark Sculpture offers variety if you're planning a multi-day trip. The site is not within a marine protected area, which means fewer restrictions on diver movement. As with all Mediterranean diving in Turkey, respect local regulations and dive with operators familiar with the area.
