Note: Luisa was an urgent emergency case that required quick and partly improvised measures under non-ideal conditions. If you are confronted with similar cases and there is no possibility to pass the turtle to a specialized facility, we recommend reading this manual from WIDECAST (link).

On Sunday, 3 February 2019, the Turtle Foundation Liechtenstein will carry out the big Turtle Foundation Raffle, which has almost reached cult status in the diving community, for the 10th time! This year, there are 34 prizes worth approx. 35,000 CHF / 31,000 EUR / 35,000 USD to win! All proceeds go directly to our conservation projects. At the Zurich travel fair FESPO, where the raffle will take place, we will celebrate our anniversary together with the 20th anniversary of the diving tour operator WeDive, without whose great initiative and support the raffle would not exist.
More information about the raffle and the form for online ticket purchase can be found here:
