Deux plongeurs qui viennent de faire l'expérience de toucher des animaux marins dans la Mer Rouge
Pub pour un e-book de formation de plongée gratuit

Last month I wrote an article about whether touching marine animals was unforgivable or not? Do you remember ?

Do you think that a fish touching a diver is prohibited ? It is just funny maybe ? And this is not unusual.


This post gave rise to very many reactions. THANK YOU, a thousand times. THANKS to all. Which overall went in the direction. Do not touch the marine animals … of course 🙂 but the fish may be touching a diver.

But what do you do when an animal falls in love with you? Or when it takes you for what you are not?

Strange question indeed but one of my friends could catch an amazing behaviour showing that it can happen that marine animals make mistakes and touching a diver is not so rare.

Indeed. In the video below, you will see that it happens to a remora to confuse a diver with a shark. And going away when he realizes his mistake.

Sometimes, fish want to come close to a diver. And check what “it is” touching a diver is not always happening. However when the fish is big it can be dangerous. Sometimes mamals want to come close to divers and here toowe can talk about touching a diver. If the mamal is as big as a whale it can be scary. However most of the time mamals are careful and avoid touching a diver.

So, touching a diver for a marine animal, is it forgivable? Are we forgiving him? 😁

I loved this funny video taken while I was evolving a few meters away. And I really wanted to share it with you just for fun of seeing a fish touching a diver.

If you also have experienced that kind of situation in scuba diving. And you want to share them with everyone do not hesitate to leave your comment below.

I will also be very pleased to read and exchange with you 😉

Good bubbles to all … and do not forget to be happy and avoid being touching a diver
