SELIN CAVE
This is the first of the four caves, one besides the other, which are all situated at 9 meters, this being the deepest point of Asi Inlet. It has two different entrances. The diameter of the western entrance is 2 meters and rises with a slight incline towards the surface and makes a plateau after 10 meters. Meanwhile the other entrance of the cave can be seen in the southeastern direction. After entering 15 meters into cave, you reach a point where the sea water meets fresh water. There is an atrium here of a height of 6-7 meters. I suggest that you use your regulators even though there is air. If you turn off your flashlight in the atrium, you can be sure that you will be seeing the darkest black in your life

PATH CAVE (Tunnel Cave)
The boat after about 25 minutes from the beach at Sarigerme, anchor at the point where the mountains join steeply the sea. The dark shadow is obvious from the surface of the turqoise coloured waters.The entrance of the cave is at 7 meters and the bottom is around 8-13 meters. There is no residue due to the rocky formation of the depth so as a result, many people are able to enter the cave. After a pyramidal entrance you continue for a distance of 20 meters. The interior of the cave is not colourful but the surrounding of the wall at the exit is suddenly another multicoloured world. The walls where the wide angle and macro photographers will spend some time are home to many triton’s trumpet (Churonia tritonis) and similar crustaceans. The end of the abyss stil preserves a navy blu color even at 45 meters. The darks navy blue continuing until infinity should remind you to ascend without losing time

GATE OF DEPTH
This cave generally is for the experienced divers. Because it is a very deep and you can reach the cave directly from the upper side. The gorund of the cave is 34 meters and you can see wall covered in soft coral. The point where you reach the open sea goes to 60 meters deep. When you go up 34 meters from the cave’s exit, you can see reefs at 10-15 meters and also you can see grouper fish. The characteristics of this cave are its depth, possibility to see soft corals, wall structures, many forms of lace coral
