It is highly unethical and illegal under DWC laws, which mandate a 100-meter distance. Unfortunately, many rogue operators care more about tips than animal welfare. As a tourist, you hold the power. Yell at the captain to stop. Take photos of the boat name/registration, and post scathing reviews on TripAdvisor. Bad reviews are the only thing that hurts these scammers financially.

Report them to the local Tourist Police branch near the harbor as well.

I left a 1-star review for a company that did this and they begged me to take it down. Do not relent.
