Blue Voices

Keep a respectful distance of at least 3 meters from manta rays and sharks. Let them swim freely in their natural home, undisturbed. Manta rays and sharks are fascinating creatures, but they are also highly sensitive to human presence. Getting too close can cause them stress and disrupt their natural behaviors. Maintaining a proper distance provides them with the space they need to move freely, adapt to their environment, and enjoy their life in the ocean peacefully. This also applies to other marine species.

Non-invasive interaction with these species is crucial in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. As tourists, we are not only observers but also guardians of our environment. Respecting the recommended distance is a simple yet powerful way to ensure the sustainability of these marine species, allowing us to enjoy their beauty without harming them.
