Turtles in Turkey


A sea turtle calmly gliding into view through the clear blue Mediterranean water is an awe-inspiring sight.

I recently went diving with Scuba Turtle Diving School in Incekum in southern Turkey. They are situated within the Pegasos Club Hotel, right on a beach that turtles come to nest on every year. The eggs buried in the sand are carefully protected. The area of the beach where turtle eggs are laid is closed from use as long as the eggs are there.
