This man is an experienced scuba diver.
An old Japanese man has been diving for six decades and even managed to make friends with many marine life during this time.
But his favorite is a fish of the Gubanov family.
It is distinguished by a large head and features resembling human ones.
Thirty long years ago, Hiroyuki Arakawa managed to save her life and this was the start of a legendary friendship.
Hiroyuki recently celebrated his 80th birthday, however, he still feels good and continues to dive.
30 years ago, he was diving in the bay and noticed a fish there that was injured.
The man could not leave her in a helpless state and for 10 days in a row he plunged to feed her, completely weak and unable to find food on her own.
He gave her the nickname Yoriko.
And they’ve been friends for thirty years.
Yoriko recognizes her savior, always swims up next to him and allows herself to be kissed and caressed.
When a man dives, he, with the help of a gong, attracts his favorite.
At the same time, the fact that Hiroyuki is sure that the fish will recognize him is not an unfounded statement.
Scientists have come to the conclusion that some species of fish are able to recognize people’s faces and the fact that Yoriko recognizes a diver is not a fiction at all.
