KAPTAN SAIT OZEGE - Ksamil

The Kaptan Sait Ozege is a proper dive, a huge roll on-roll off ferry that went down in '88. She sits upright in just 7 metres of water, so you get plenty of bottom time and the light just floods the wreck. We love how accessible she is; you can fin along the entire 110-metre length, looking into the car decks through the collapsed superstructure. Her scale is what gets you. Swimming over the bow, past the massive anchor chains, you really feel how big this ship was. Shoals of damselfish drift in and out of the openings, and we’ve often spotted octopus tucked away in crevices near the bridge. It’s a photographer's dream on a sunny day, with shafts of light piercing down into the deeper sections. If you’re into wreck history or just want a long, relaxed exploration, this is our pick in Ksamil.
