Dome Cave
Kaş · Turkey
A spectacular cavern system carved into Lycian limestone, with a main chamber large enough to surface inside and several tunnels leading back to the open reef. Light beams cut through the entrance at midday, illuminating the cavern walls. Grouper, moray eels, and cardinalfish shelter in the overhangs year-round. No overhead environment certification required to access the main cavern; the inner tunnels demand more experience.
