What is generally considered a bad practice while diving regarding marine animals?

Feeding marine animals is generally considered a bad practice while diving because it can disrupt their natural feeding behaviors and interactions within their ecosystem. When divers feed marine life, it can create dependency on human-provided food, leading to long-term changes in the animal's behavior, such as seeking out divers instead of foraging for natural prey. This can result in animals becoming aggressive or overly familiar with humans, which poses risks both to divers and the animals themselves. Additionally, feeding may lead to imbalances in the local ecosystem, as certain species may thrive at the expense of others, ultimately harming biodiversity and the health of marine habitats.
