Frenk Bay South Wall

Frenk Bay South Wall is a beginner-friendly dive site near Fethiye on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, the southern-facing wall within the bay system that offers yet another perspective on the varied underwater topography of this popular diving area. The south wall's orientation provides different light conditions and marine communities from the inner and outer walls. The wall extends along the bay's southern edge, with its rock surface supporting the Mediterranean marine growth characteristic of the Fethiye coast. The southern exposure means the wall receives different sunlight angles throughout the day, and the resulting light patterns create varying photographic opportunities. Sponges, algae, and encrusting organisms decorate the vertical surface. Fish life along the south wall follows the pattern of the bay's other walls, with Mediterranean reef species providing constant activity. The wall's overhangs and crevices shelter the usual cast of groupers, moray eels, and octopus, while the open-water fish move along the wall face. Frenk Bay South Wall completes the trio of wall dives within the bay, providing a third perspective that can be explored on the same day for a comprehensive introduction to Mediterranean wall diving in comfortable, beginner-friendly conditions.
