    Orak Island, near Bodrum, often gives us some decent visibility, especially in the mornings before the day boats arrive. We usually find ourselves exploring a gentle sloping reef, home to plenty of octopuses tucked into crevices and schools of barracuda hanging in the blue. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive, or for those just getting comfortable with Mediterranean diving. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the shallower rocks.
