Certification & difficulty
Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.
Snorkelling
Snorkel-friendly - Non-scuba 'Turkish Maldives' tourist boat trips offer swimming at Orak Island's coves, separate from the scuba wall dive
Safety notes
Extreme wall depth beyond recreational no-decompression limits (risk of uncontrolled descent along a bottomless-feeling wall); boat-only remote access; open-water current exposure around the island point (unconfirmed magnitude)
Permits & fees
No specific scuba-diving permit or fee found. Separate, unrelated tourist 'Orak Island boat tour' packages for swimming/snorkeling widely sold at standard Bodrum excursion prices, but these are not scuba dive fees
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
