Amazing cave under water. You can swim in an underwater tunnel 3m long.

This mapped feature is a short natural underwater tunnel in the Kabak coastal area near Faralya, within the wider Fethiye diving zone. It is reached through the sea rather than through a land entrance. The feature name gives the tunnel’s length as about 3 metres. The Muğla tourism authority describes the related passage as beginning at approximately 12 metres and ending at approximately 3 metres, making the changing depth part of the experience. It is reached through the sea, not through a land entrance, so it is a marine dive feature rather than a conventional walk-in cave. The place name identifies a tunnel about 3 metres long. The Muğla tourism authority’s related information describes a passage beginning at approximately 12 metres and ending at approximately 3 metres. Its appeal is the compact underwater passage and its changing depth profile. It is an underwater tunnel associated with the Fethiye diving area; the public tourism authority describes the tunnel as starting at 12 m and ending at 3 m depth. The responsible tourism authority states that the longest tunnel in the listed tunnel area is 4 m long. It is a short natural underwater tunnel in the Kabak coastal area near Faralya, associated with the Fethiye diving zone. The tourism authority describes the related passage as starting at approximately 12 metres and ending at approximately 3 metres depth.

The experience is the submerged rock formation itself. Divers or swimmers approach the opening from the sea and pass through the compact tunnel when the conditions and their abilities make entry suitable. There is no described constructed interior, artificial lighting system or visitor facility. The related tunnel area reaches depths between 10 and 20 metres, while the passage changes from roughly 12 metres to roughly 3 metres. There is no constructed interior, artificial lighting system or installed visitor facility described for this point. The experience is the submerged rock formation itself: enter from the sea, approach the opening and pass through the short tunnel if conditions and experience make that appropriate. The authority places the related tunnel area within a maximum depth range of 10 to 20 metres and describes the passage as changing from roughly 12 metres to roughly 3 metres. Its broader listing gives 4 metres as the longest tunnel, while the supplied feature name gives 3 metres.

The tunnel itself is brief, with the place description giving a length of about 3 metres. Passing through the opening takes only a short time, but the feature is explored from the water as part of a swimming or diving outing. The complete outing therefore lasts longer than the tunnel crossing and includes the approach, underwater positioning and return through the sea. The tunnel itself is brief, with the supplied feature description giving a length of about 3 metres.

This natural sea-access feature has no described gate, timetable or scheduled visiting session. The relevant conditions are daylight, sea state, visibility, currents and weather. Calm-looking conditions at the surface do not by themselves establish safe underwater visibility. Treat the tunnel as an outdoor marine activity and make the decision to enter with the dive team’s judgement and the conditions at the site.

Boat transport, equipment hire, instruction and commercial diving arrangements are separate services when used, but no prices for those services are provided here. Plan the visit around the marine outing itself rather than around a conventional cave entrance or ticket booth.

MUTTAŞ route 3-42 runs between Fethiye, Faralya and Kabak, providing the landward connection towards the coastal area. Continue towards Faralya or Kabak, then arrange onward access to the coast and water. The bus does not reach the underwater feature. The final approach is marine, so the road journey must be combined with a launch or swimming approach to the location.

This is not a casual land-accessible cave. The tourism authority places the related tunnel area in the intermediate and advanced diver category, and the approach includes approximately 12 metres of depth. Do not judge the difficulty by the tunnel’s short length. Use suitable training, equipment and buddy procedures, and follow qualified dive-professional advice when sea conditions, visibility or currents make entry unsuitable.

Photography is an underwater activity here and depends on suitable equipment, visibility and a safe dive plan. The compact opening and changing depth profile can make framing difficult while moving from approximately 12 metres towards shallower water. Keep cameras, fins and other equipment controlled so they do not strike the rock. Buoyancy, breathing and a safe exit take priority over capturing the tunnel.
