Diving with a Wild Monkey | Crab-Eating Macaque swimming

A few years ago, explorer Alvaro Cerezo (Docastaway) befriended a Crab-Eating Macaque while surviving on a remote island in Southeast Asia. One day while Alvaro was hunting for fish in the coral reef using his speargun, he was surprised by the approaching of quite a brave monkey who was swimming too. The monkey held onto Alvaro as a flotation device when it needed to rest. Thus, special friendship began. They swam together underwater almost every day, jumping from rock to rock, gaining mutual trust and little by little in this process. Finally, they ended up diving together in the deep spectacular coral reef. In countries like Indonesia, these Crab-Eating Macaques are famous for being proficient swimmers and ’apnea’ free divers for crabs and other crustaceans in mangrove swamps.
