I swam 10 feet away and was kneeling on the bottom as I purged images from the memory card to make room for the Baracuda video that I wanted to shoot. I turned back around and he was not there - turned some more and he was sneaking up on me - I froze for a second then decided to place the camera between the two of us - kind of a shield. The fish was about 5 feet long and looked quite confident in his ability to defend his territory. Check out those teeth!

  • Damn that's really nice resolution. What camera were you using?

  • My underwater camera is my dry land camera as well. I use the Canon PowerShot A70. The video resolution was set to high - 640x480 - 30 second mode and I have the underwater case of course.

  • I was just at Dry Rocks in Pennekamp yesterday. The first barracuda I saw scared the **** out of me. Then I would see one longer than my arm every 3 or 4 minutes. I had my silver watch on, so I was a bit nervous, but they are used to people at that reef, and would leave you alone. Still, those teeth are scary.

  • i came face to face with a few in my day,, they are scary to say the least..

  • creepy, creepy, creepy. man, you seriously have guts getting that close to a baracuda...i would have shrieked like a six year old and then it probably would have killed me...which is why im NEVER going diving, lol. anyway, cool vid.

  • It's not like they're dangerous, they're just very curious. The worst we've had happen was one tried to take a fish off our spear while we were spear-fishing.

  • OMG those teeth are like sharp man....

  • ive caught one of those when i went fishing there was heeps of em they put up a good fight and their teeth are razor sharp

  • What a beautiful creature

  • Beautiful. I'm more of a reptile person, but this video is great.

  • OMG COOL!

  • wow thats cool!
