Located just before Gundogan, a beautiful place in the mountains and a lot cooler than Bodrum. You can have lessons or go on a hack into the mountains.

Collection of over 3000 shells and hand made replica boats which are a big part of Bodrum history. It even includes my father-in-laws boat who was one of the original sponge divers in the area.
