She’s like:

Poor gal. Love her for being a good sport 🫶🏼

I tried to make it a shorter video but he was just SO good for the camera. I honestly could have made this video a minute long so.. I did what I could 🥹

Sir David Attenborough would watch the whole video. So would Steve Irwin! 👀

Just enjoy the colour show would ya!

You can see on the left where the halocline is still intact.
But then when I swish my hand around and mix the water … it looks like a complete blur.
And no, it’s not your eyes. You don’t need to rub them to check 😋

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that we are leaving and I know I don’t have any more skills to do 👀😂

It’s like a weightlessness feeling.. where all you are doing is moving your hands and everything else just kinda follows along. You don’t have to kick your feet… youre just getting pulled along as you reel up the line!

The sensation is so strange but also SO relaxing 😂

Tell me that I’m not the only one who feels it?

That slow approach when you know damn well you’re him.

No rush.
No hesitation.
Just a chonk of pure barracuda confidence coming in straight.

Like he had business to handle and I was in. his. way. 💁🏼‍♀️

Do you remember your first time ever doing the mask removal skill?
Were you shaking & nervous?
Or cool as a cucumber?

2 things on this video:
Do you know how we can tell that this one is a male?
AND
He was able to escape from a *quite large* remora then proceeded to harass my diver for the rest of our dive 😂 it was amazing
(Also this is my favourite sound to add to my animal videos 😆)

That intimidating look doesn’t mean it’s above a little self-care.

Barracuda will visit cleaning stations where tiny cleaner fish pick off parasites and other unwanted material from their bodies and mouths — a pretty useful arrangement for both sides.

Even predators have to keep themselves in good shape. 🐟

They make me WEAK.

They’re tiny little cubes that just float around with the cutest little o-shaped mouth 🥹 you can’t even see their FINS!

Cuteness aggression to the max thank you.

What’s your favourite little ocean nugget to find on a dive??

The underwater sneeze 🤧🫧

Ever seen a stingray “sneeze”?

Those two openings behind its eyes are called spiracles—basically built-in snorkels. While buried, the ray draws clean water through them and over its gills to breathe without having too much sand enter its respiratory system.

But inevitably, a little sand gets where it shouldn’t. When the ray emerges, it can forcefully reverse the flow through its spiracles, blasting the grains back out in a sudden HUUFF.
