Rambo is a cave dive near Cleopatra Beach, the farthest of Alanya's boat sites from the harbour. A short tunnel at 13 m leads into a cave half filled with air. It is perhaps the most popular dive site on the Alanya coast.
Also known as Rambo Cave, Rambohöhle.
Where it is and how deep

The dive
At 13 m a tunnel 6 to 7 m long, wide enough for about 5 divers at a time, leads into the cave. The chamber at its end is half filled with air, and its roof is hung with numerous dropstones.
