28 May 2011 1 Comment
The Turkish Coast Guard has donated one of the older patrol boats for an artificial reef. The boat will be sunk of the coast of Kas, Antalya to create a diving attraction and an artificial reef.
Kaş is not only one of the most beautiful touristic spots in Turkey is also a good place for scuba diving. A few years ago one C-47 Skytrain aircraft was sunk to create a diving spot. But not all wrecks around Kaş are modern. The Uluburun Shipwreck is a Late Bronze Age shipwreck dated to the late 14th century BCE, was discovered off Uluburun situated about 6 miles southeast of Kaş.
On the other hand the third ship of the large search and rescue ship, SG-703 TCSG Yasam will be launched at RMK Shipyard on 31 May 2011.
