Middle Cave is one of the sea caves in the rock around Alanya Castle, about 12 minutes by boat from Alanya Harbour. The site starts at 15 m and runs down to 34 m, which makes it a dive for experienced divers and for deep-water diving.

The dive
The entrance to the cave sits at 15 m, the shallowest point of the dive. Below it the rock continues down to 34 m, so the site is kept for experienced divers and deep-water dives.
