Dive deeper. Learn continuously. Protect our oceans. 🌊🤿💙

Send a message to learn more

Every dive is another step toward understanding and protecting the ocean. Through continuous learning in freediving, we become safer divers, better ocean stewards, and stronger advocates for marine conservation.

At FCOA Calapan, we believe freediving is more than a sport, it's a way to connect with the sea, appreciate its beauty, and inspire action to protect it.

Ropework training is an essential part of freediving—building confidence, improving safety, and preparing divers for real-life situations beneath the surface. Every knot, every technique, every lesson matters.

A nice morning training with coach Lorence from FCOA Calapan👌. Visibility was great and the weather is really nice☀️🌤️. We did execute skills very smoothly thanks to the guidance of coaches from fcoa calapan🫶

A deceased marine turtle was observed by one of our FCOA Coaches this morning, stranded along the shoreline in Brgy. San Antonio, Calapan City (besides Calapan Port - Gate 4)

The carcass appeared to have been washed ashore by wave action and was found trapped against a concrete coastal structure and a boat.

Based on the visible condition of the carcass, the turtle appears to have been dead for some time prior to being washed ashore. However, the exact time and cause of death cannot be determined from field observation alone and will require proper examination by the appropriate authorities.

Possibly a Green or Hawksbill turtle, the turtle shell shows significant damage, with large cracks and exposed inner layers.

It is advised to report deceased marine animals to local authorities, such as a DENR, LGU, environmental protection center, or emergency hotline.

Sea turtles are often threatened by boat strikes, plastic pollution, and illegal trade.

We already reported this incident to DENR & LGU for proper handling and potential investigation.

NOTE:

This report is based solely on initial field observations and the attached photograph. The actual cause of death cannot be confirmed without a detailed examination by qualified marine wildlife experts.

From the head pattern and visible scutes, the turtle appears to be a 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗮 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗲 (𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘮𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘴), but species identification should be confirmed by marine wildlife personnel during the official assessment.
