Divers from the Central Anatolian province of Konya had an unusual experience when they ate the local specialty, “meat bread” (etli ekmek) of Konya, 10 meters below the sea while they were receiving diving training in the southern province of Antalya’s Kaş district.
The owner of the Konya Diving Center, Mustafa Kaynaroğlu, said they had trained 100 divers last year during their 12-hour courses. Especially residents of Konya who long for the sea are the center’s most frequent customers, Kaynaroğlu said. “We have had divers who ate from the bottle while diving but this is a first when we ate the ‘etli ekmek’ 10 meters underwater, without using a bottle. We felt hungry during the dive and ate the ‘etli ekmek’ we had brought with us. Our hunger passed and at the same time we had an interesting experience.”
