This study simulated the effects of diving activities on the physiology, enzymatic, and transcriptional responses of Acropora microphthalma. Touching had less impact on Fv/Fm, but a few zooxanthellae were decreased and minor MDA was elevated. Caspase 3 was activated to remove damaged cells, and SOD was increased to alleviate oxidative damage. Under double or triple diving stress, we observed mass loss of zooxanthellae and Fv/Fm, a significant increase in MDA, and SOD, CAT was activated in response to oxidative stress. Transcriptome analyses showed that corals activated immune signaling pathways, anti-oxidation pathways, lysosomal, phagosomal, and cellular autophagy pathways to manage oxidation stress. Moreover, it up-regulated carbohydrate metabolisms, as well as lipopolysaccharide metabolism, glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, photorespiration, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid beta-oxidation, but down-regulated fatty acid biosynthesis to answer energy insufficiency. This research supported that even in a short time, improper diving activities could have a serious impact on coral health.
