Absolutely, it would be better to leave the fish alone. But then we should ban fishing, which is even worse. Any diving, especially at night, will unavoidably disturb the marine life, but it also brings awareness about the ecosystems. I think it is an acceptable trade-off. If you are lucky enough to dive in Lembeh, you will see that the guides touch and move a lot of stuff, which would be forbidden elsewhere. But since people dive in this area, the locals take better care of the sea, so the balance is largely positive. We follow the indications of the local guides because they know what can and cannot be done in their area.
@@laurentschmitz2832 keep your hands to yourself, period. Look and don't touch ...and don't get so dramatic, the only acceptable trade-off is you dive and keep your distance. If you see guides touching and moving things in Lembeh or elsewhere tell them off, instead of copying bad behaviours.
Merci Laurent! Les murènes sont inoffensives si on ne les ennuie pas, tout comme les requins d'ailleurs. Les animaux les plus dangereux sous l'eau (à part les plongeurs) c'est tout ce qui pique et ce qui coupe, en particulier les urticants: coraux et méduses. ;-)
