Knowledge helps to protect
A very important aspect of protecting sea turtles is imparting knowledge. Because we can only really protect what we know. That is why, in collaboration with our diving school, Cyprus Diving Centre, we have designed a number of different projects to impart knowledge about sea turtles. You can also find some exciting information about sea turtles here.
