Dive guides should not be doing this on your dives, they should never provoke an animal or touch one.

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube the other day. The video showcases a dive guide capturing a puffer fish and making it puff up for his dive guests. I wanted to share this with the community and let new divers know that this type of behavior is not acceptable. Dive guides should not be doing this on your dives, they should never provoke an animal or touch one.

Please share this video and let people know, why this isn’t cool.
