The Karaca Cave (known locally as Karaca Mağarası) is a network of caves located near the Turkish town of Torul.There is no stream in the cave of Karaca, but water leaking through the cave ceiling still provides water for the formation of dripstones. Other than those, there are some travertine pools and ponds inside the cave. The ponds, which are at the entrance of the third and fourth halls, have a high water content.

own baywatch of puerto
With a past history of dynamite and cyanide fishing, the Philippines has sustained much damage to its coral reefs. In an effort to control this in Palawan, the government introduced the Bantay Dagat (Baywatch) program in 1992.
There was a ban on illegal fishing techniques as well as the introduction of fish sanctuaries and reserves. Local communities combined with naval and police forces to enable constant coastal surveillance – no mean feat with such a vast area of ocean to patrol. Heavy sentences of up to 20 years imprisonment for offenders help to maintain the zero tolerance level.

undiscovered LOcation of Palawan
Often overlooked in favor of the dramatic limestone cliffs of El Nido in the north or the wreck-diving in Coron, Puerto Princesa remains relatively undiscovered. Serviced by only three small dive companies, underwater exploration in this area is very informal, with dive-masters joining each other’s trips if it makes sense to use the same boat.
Convenience is another attractive factor. Everything is close by and dive sites are so accessible (the closest just a few minutes offshore) that a surface interval between dives can be spent lying on the beach, a godsend for those who are prone to bouts of seasickness.
One of the best sites for macro enthusiasts is The Lighthouse, one of Puerto’s most popular dive sites. A 10-minute boat ride from the shore, it is home to an astonishing variety of marine life. Beginner divers doing the basic Open Water course find the “Fish Identification” section really easy, having only to glance up from their picture chart to see the live example swim by.
The rock formations are interspersed with caverns amidst the sandy bottom, culminating in a small but picturesque arch. It acts as a gateway to shallower waters where you can find the small but much-loved nudibranchs. Their slow gait and every conceivable color combination make them a favorite with underwater photographers.
Island Divers founder, Norman Songco has been exploring these waters for the past 25 years and is still continually surprised. “Recently, I saw a nudibranch I’d never laid eyes on before,” he mused. “And I thought I’d seen them all.”
