Oman's Environment Authority has issued a clear warning to people not to dive near orca whales. This comes after a video showing a man swimming very close to the massive killer whales went viral. The authority said such actions are unsafe and unpredictable. It could risk human lives and harm the whales. The viral video showed a person attempting to film the orca underwater near Oman's coast. Officials called this behaviour "incorrect and poses a serious risk to personal safety." Orcas, also called killer whales, are wild animals with great strength. The Environment Authority explained they are not trained. Approaching them too closely can cause the animals to act defensively or aggressively if they feel threatened. Orcas are top predators in the ocean, known for their intelligence and teamwork when hunting. While attacks on humans are rare, experts worldwide say close encounters should be avoided for safety. Oman’s advice matches similar warnings from other countries where orcas live. The Environment Authority urged people to watch marine animals from boats or a safe distance. They should never try to swim or dive near large whales like orcas. The goal is to enjoy wildlife safely without disturbing or stressing them. Orca sightings near Oman and the Gulf are rare but attract attention. The recent viral video has helped raise awareness about respecting these animals. Oman reminds divers, snorkelers, and tourists that big predators weigh several tonnes and move fast and unpredictably. Close encounters can be dangerous. Social media may tempt people to get close for dramatic clips, but safety comes first. Oman’s Environment Authority said, "watch from afar, respect wildlife and never dive near a wild predator for a viral clip." This approach protects both humans and the natural behaviour of marine giants like orca whales.
