Just Float: When near marine animals, the best approach is to simply float. By respecting their space, they may come closer if they wish to interact.

No Feeding: Feeding marine life is both dangerous and illegal (Fisheries Protection Ordinance Reg 9(1)(g)). Please refrain from this activity to protect their well-being.
No Interaction or Games: While it may be tempting to interact or play with marine animals, it’s crucial to let them behave naturally without any interference.
Respect Specific Situations: Steer clear of pregnant female marine mammals, animals engaged in courtship or territorial behavior, and those in predator/prey relationships.
Keep Our Oceans Clean: Littering is strictly prohibited. If you accidentally drop any personal items like hair ties, snorkels, or fins, retrieve them from the bottom of the ocean. Protecting their habitat is essential for safeguarding marine life.
