A 2 hour boat journey bring you to the Dutchess of York reef near Kalkan. There is evidence here of 2 or more wrecks that have clearly come to grief on the 5 mtr reef top. On the West side at 20 mtrs there are flat sections of wreckage. On the East side starting at 40 mtrs and descending to over 60 mtrs are the remains of a rusting large steel hull still with lumps of coal inside. The dive site is named after a ships bell from the Dutchess of York was found. The D of Y was identified by Lloyds as a 101.1ft single deck iron screw ketch, lost in WWI that was built in Hull, UK in 1893. Recent evidence suggests the larger wreckage is the remains of the Sakarya a Turkish cargo ship carrying coal and chrome mine ore. Schools of amberjack often visit the large wreck and amphora aboune all over the reef. The cracks in the reef are inhabited by moray eels, spanish lobster and crabs. On top of the reef you may observe amberjack, garfish and groupers hundting the schools of smelt that huddle together for group protection.
