They are actually very tame and friendly when diving, just like small mouth bass in a river or lake they are super friendly and not afraid of you when your diving and u can feed them crayfish right from your hand. They don't like you waiding close to them or seeing u in a boat above them though they will swim off quickly. Some Goliath groupers though are monstrous big down below though in the ocean, so big you think twice about getting close to them. I'm talking 3X to 4x the size of this one

I once made a harness with a spear attached to it. I attached the device to a large grouper and after just a few hours of teaching him how to use it he was hunting down his prey with the spear. It was very rewarding to watch him use the spear. Eventually he broke it though and I decided not to make another. He died one day testing out a stun gun I had crafted for him.

Crikey, they weren't kidding with the name. I suppose when you're that size, being petted by divers is just your due. Well done harvesting the lionfish - they're invasive pests. I wondered if the grouper was waiting for you to take it off your spear as, apparently they are one of the few species that can eat them. I imagine there's a specialised technique and the lionfish facing the right direction would play a large part in it. 😊

my granddad used to dive at this one shipwreck and he had pictures of this absolutely MASSIVE grouper that they befriended. He and his team would go down and knock on the side of the ship, wait a minute, and then she'd come out and swim around with them. They were over in Croatia in the 80s, but they managed to get her tagged so no one could kill her!! She could still be down there as they can live for over 40 years.

So some fun information about this. Divers and scientists have been trying to teach these Groupers to find and eat the Lionfish, as they are some of the very few predators who can actually handle the Lionfish poison. Theres studies nowadays where the Groupers ARE actually picking up what people have been trying to teach them, and the study so far is turning into a success! What you are seeing here could be a case of a grouper who learned from its parents how to hunt them, and why the grouper here is thus so friendly with humans.
