The release program features a special guided tour of the Turtle Farm and allows participants to sponsor and release their own turtle while scuba diving or snorkeling. Divetech dive instructors, located next to the Turtle Farm, accompany guests and their turtles to Turtle Reef or the North Sound to release the animals. The program concludes with a certificate of recognition from the Turtle Farm. If you've always wanted to do something for the environment that extends beyond recycling, here's a chance to participate in eco projects that do make a difference.
