Incredible huge Great Barrier Reef grouper fish eating from hand (43 seconds)

During a 5 night cruise aboard the Coral Princess in the outer Great Barrier Reef near the Coral Sea, our divemaster located a friendly grouper fish and he was nice enough to take my underwater camera with him showing the fish eating from his hand. Everyone should experience the Great Barrier Reef at least once in their lives to really appreciate the earth's largest living organism.

That is what bigger fish do to smaller fish...and grouper and not like sharks, they just swim along looking for smaller fish to eat...

[TheTravelSlut]

No, the grouper was only interested in non-human food and was a delight to see so big and healthy.

[TheTravelSlut]

In open waters elsewhere and if you needed the fish for food perhaps yes but this area is protected and no harvesting is permitted by good reason.

I love grouper from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico fishing waters also.

Thats so cool!!!

[bibi14930]

nice!!! i would love to learn how to scuba dive and feed gigantic fish from my hand. I love fish! but wot worries me is that sometimes these big guys may accidentally mistake your soft hands/fingers for food and suck or snap at it. I've watched enough documentaries and videos to see it happen. I guess you just have to do it right and watch their reaction and all that.

but it's really fun to feed & see them up close!
