People are comfortable swimming with sharks

Shark Ray Alley shallow waters in Hol Chan marine reserve are off the coast of Belize as an attractive tourist destination, as the area is crowded with rough sharks and rays.

Guests are welcome to dive with shark and stingray sharks in Shark Ray Alley, Belize.

Shark Ray Alley shallow waters used to be used by local fishermen to wash nets before returning to the port. Scraps that are washed away from the net attracted many rough sharks and rays to feed. As a result, this area quickly became an attractive tourist destination.

Sharks and stingrays gather when they discover tourists.

Sharks and rays have learned to recognize the sound of diver ships and they begin to gather to wait for the bait to be thrown into the water. These two fish are very friendly to snorkelers and snorkelers and seem to like interacting with humans.

Rough sharks are very friendly to divers.

The drowners often swim straight to divers with their mouths wide open. Some rays have learned how to swim around divers as if performing to receive food.

The best way is to avoid touching and feeding them.

"The important thing is that you have to maintain a friendly relationship," the site holchanbelize.org warned. "These are all wild animals, so they cannot predict their behavior. The best way is to avoid touching and feeding them. You should watch them at a safe distance."
