FAQ
What is the history of the C-47 Dakota wreck in Bodrum?
The aircraft is a decommissioned Douglas C-47A Dakota that served in the Turkish Air Force. It was deliberately sunk on 1 July 2008 to create an artificial reef and diving attraction off Pacoz Bay near Bodrum. The plane was 19.57 metres long with a wingspan of 28.96 metres. In 2010, winter storms broke the aircraft in two, with the tail and rear fuselage section drifting to deeper water at 32 to 33 metres.
What certification do I need to dive the Bodrum Dakota wreck?
The main fuselage and wing section sits at 17 to 22 metres, accessible to Open Water certified divers. The separated tail section at 32 to 33 metres requires Advanced Open Water certification. The site has mild currents and excellent visibility, making it a comfortable wreck dive. Nitrox certification is useful for extended bottom time on the deeper section.
When is the best time to dive the C-47 wreck in Bodrum?
The diving season runs from April to November, with June through October offering the warmest water at 22 to 28 degrees and the best visibility. The sheltered bay location means the site is diveable in most conditions. Bodrum is a major tourism hub with numerous dive centres, making access straightforward throughout the season.
