Our beaches can offer another exciting experience as well.
Sea Turtles - Caretta caretta & Chelonia mydas
For about one hundred million years, our waters have been visited by the
green (Chelonia mydas) and the logger-head (Caretta caretta) turtles. The green turtle only nests in Cyprus, south-east Turkey and sometimes in Israel.
These ascinating creatures come ashore on the deserted beaches of North
Cyprus between May and August to nest and Alagadi beach is classified as a
special protected area.After sunset, when it is dark, the adult females, sometimes with a carapace
of more than 100 cms long, make their way up the beach to find a suitable
nesting place. There they lay between 65 and 110 eggs, depending on the species.
This can be repeated three to five times for each, 10-15 days apart.
When the nesting is done, the exhausted female returns to the sea. She will
perhaps reppear on the same beach again a couple of years later. Visitors are
welcome to observe this exciting experience.

DAN stands for Divers Alert Network, or as it is familiarly known the 'diver's safety net' DAN was born in 1980 following the initiative of certain scientists and university professors of international standing, in the USA and in Italy, who had understood that the managing of a diving emergency requires a special knowledge, not commonly found as part of normal medical structures.
