Ari Atoll Divers

Whale sharks and manta rays swim with their mouths wide open because they are filter feeders. They can't bite or chew, so they glide through the ocean like giant vacuums, straining thousands of gallons of water every hour to catch tiny plankton.
Would you swim next to one?

Meet the Bowmouth Guitarfish.

It looks like a shark from the back, but its flat belly and mouth make it a ray!

Have you ever seen one of these prehistoric beauties up close?👇

When a grey reef shark cruises in close, remember these 3 simple rules to keep the encounter calm and safe:
• Stay still: Avoid sudden movements. Let them check you out.
• Maintain eye contact: Slowly turn to keep them in your field of view.
• Keep your space: Never corner them. Give them room to pass.

Grey reef sharks are one of the the most important shark populations of coral reefs.
They are an active, strong-swimming social species that forms daytime aggregations in reef passes and lagoons; at night the groups disperse. Groups of juveniles remain together on pupping grounds.
