On Saturday 15.06.2024 we encountered a sea turtle fighting for survival on the surface at dive site "SEMIRAMIS" off the coast of Puerto de la Cruz in Tenerife. The animal has been completely entangled in plastic and was about to drown. Thanks to the courageous intervention of our crew the turtle was freed and immediately swam away happily.
We are pleased that we were able to help immediately. If you would like to help also, as a licensed diver you are welcome to take part in the underwater cleaning campaigns that we organize once a year in and around the harbor of Puerto de la Cruz. But also on all other dives we conduct, we frequently remove plastic, cans, bottles and other garbage underwater when we discover something.
