Istanbul Kültür University (IKU) Underwater Club (IKUSAT) carried out training and development dives at the Dive Academy Diving Center in Bodrum between October 26-29, 2024, with the participation of 4 graduates and 4 students under the guidance of club advisor Cemal Turan.

The members, who received theoretical and sea training, descended to a depth of 18 meters in their last dive and were entitled to receive their 1-star diver badges. Our 6 members with 6 badges sailed with the boat of Instructor Tolga Dokumacı from Dive Academy and made development dives at 8 different points, including the area where the C-47 Dakota aircraft wreck is located.

Our members, who dived to raise awareness about femicide and celebrate Republic Day, unfurled the Turkish flag, club flag, and banner underwater. This conscious act by our members was widely covered in the press with the title, “A banner was unfurled underwater in Bodrum to raise awareness about violence against women.”
