 İbrice Port

This port is hidden in a place where high rocky cliffs meet the sea. This is a diving spot where you can park your car by the seashore and make any kind of diving. Usually divers coming to this place stays at the hotels in Keşan or campings. On weekends port welcomes at least 10 diving centers coming from İstanbul at the same time. An this means at least 100 divers. Taking into account who has come individually, every corner of the port is filled with divers. As you can enter the sea by the lighthouse, you can also use the shore just next to it. I suggest using boots or fins with boots because there are plenty of sea urchins. In this area underwater may seem crowded by all divers getting training. But it isn't so. Trainings are between 9 and 25 meters. So I suggest swimming about 50 meters to the east of the shore and diving there. Magnificent underwater colours and creatures await for you. Depth of these waters is upto 45 meters and you have the possibility of a deep dive. Only trained divers should perform these dives. After the first few meters, you could see every kind of living in the waters of Saros which is famous for its fish kinds. I suggest shallow night dives for photgraphers.  For those who enter the water by the restaurant at the port, they will find the shapes of the mountains on the land continiuing underwater. Octopuses hiding under the rocks akyas swimming off the shore or subyes in the marshy places will wellcome you.
