A guide to safe distances from different kinds of marine creatures to protect yourself and protect them.
Every marine creature has its own space. Respecting it protects you and protects it.
At least a meter and a half. Do not swim toward them directly. Slow, calm movement.
At least two meters. Do not corner them in an angle or a tight exit.
Do not touch at all. Standing half a meter away to see anemonefish is enough.
The correct distance makes you a watcher, not an annoying guest.
