Merhaba Tunatan! I was certified to dive while living in Turkey and I have been trying to figure out exactly where the sites we dove are on the map. I am hoping you may be able to point me in the right direction, or know someone who might be able to help.
This was 1992-1993. We were diving with a group of Americans that were getting support from a dive shop in Izmir. I think it was owned by Friksos Rothman, whom most divers I have met from Turkey seem to know.
I was never driving, but it seems like we left Izmir to the East, along the bay on the O-32 towards Cesme. I suspect we ended up on the peninsula north of Cesme, somewhere around Karabarun. It seems like we drove for 2 or 3 hours from Izmir.
One site was called "MaviGun." It was a small cove beach at the end of a dirt track. People camped there for weekends and there was a small restaurant open on the weekends to serve them. The site was used for training because it was a gently sloping bottom.
The second was called "Maos Island." Maos was short for the place's longer name. The place was near a military zone because sometimes it was off limits. Other times, soldiers would visit us to see what was going on. It was on the end of a long beach. We drove part of the way down a long dirt track, and the last part was "off road" to the beach. The island was a tall rocky outcropping just off the point. You could walk across a "land-bridge" at low tide to the island, where there were ruins of an old fortification. The story was it used to be a pirate "lookout," but that was probably just a "diver story."
Does any of this sound familiar, or do you know someone with experience in that area who may know these sites? I'd simply like to look them up on Google Maps and know where they were.
