THREE WRECK DIVES IN A SINGLE DAY
The areas in Turkey that harbor shipwrecks are host to thousands of Turkish and foreign divers every year. The most popular such spot is probably Kemer in Antalya, where those who come to dive are especially fortunate. In most parts of the world ships have gone down in the open sea, and a tiring trip of 3 or 4 hours by boat is required to reach them before diving. But at Kemer one can dive down to three wrecks on the same day, all of them very near to the harbor and to each other: The Paris II, the Tor III and the Pati. The first sank during World War I, the other two in more recent years, and diving down to all of them is a pleasure that can be enjoyed in comfort.

A FRENCH SHIP: THE PARIS II
Let's start our dives with the wreck of the Paris II. A boat trip lasting only five minutes puts us directly over the ship. Commanded by Captain Rollin, the Paris II was attached during World War I to the Syria 7th Cavalry Company.
