I grew up diving both coasts of Florida. Had many encounters with sharks but never feared them, even as a kid. I felt like I could almost predict their behavior. Barracuda, on the other hand were sneaky, smart, fast and highly unpredictable. I always kept my eyes on them and where they were at all times. Sharks could mostly be ignored as long as your behaviors were normal Pro tip: DO NOT wear jewelry in the ocean

They can do damage to a human, but they generally don’t mess with humans because we’re too big. That is unless we’re wearing something shiny. However, if you’ve speared a fish or lobster they might go after that. Divers have been training barracuda to go after lionfish because it’s an invasive species.

He has been habituated to people feeding him and does not see people as a threat whatsoever and never gets aggressive, even when feeding.

Being from Bermuda, we'd see Cudas 4-6 ft around beaches or shoals and smaller ones in the bays and mangroves. Never seen them or any recording of them eating lionfish. Always a scary feeling snorkeling and coming up on a 6ft Cuda. I found out, doing a stare down usually works and they swim off. Jumping off the rocks is a fun summertime event for all ages in Bermuda. Jumping into a school of juvenile Cudas, is nerve racking, but easily understood. Right before you hit the water, they move off, but the time you surface they are usually on your 5 or 7 o clock. Fun fish to snorkel with and watch hunt. Just remember your jewelry and dive masks, reflect the sun and that makes you a target for curious Cudas.

Many thanks! Several times during my snorkeling in the far reef I was in a situation when a barracuda was moving around me making me very uncomfortable. Sometimes it was close to the end of the day when the waters around the reef became darker and the fish were not well visible. Couple of times there were a few barracudas cruising around me and especially when one of them was large ~5.5 ft long. Once it was the case when I was not careful enough and dropped my camera which landed right underneath the fish. I wasn't ready to lose my pictures of the day and It took a lot of courage to get it back.

I had this feeling that something was watching me … I turned and the Great Barracuda was just a few feet away just looking at me. It was huge. Close to six feet long, foot long jaws with inch long teeth. It looked like a torpedo with teeth. I had been spearfishing, but thankfully had not shot any fish. I turned and slowly swam toward the monster and it moved off into the shadows. Huge fish. Had it desired, I would have been a snack.

When they are old they don’t have the speed anymore and have to go for slow prey. Also, whenever a school of barracudas was near, I got outa there. Also the Titan triggerfish got me worried at times. I’ve only had close calls with barracudas, but have been attacked by triggerfishes. Thankfully they’ve only bit my fins.

Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, a huge barracuda came in fast and bit down on one of the mullets, leaving the mullets head, sinking down to the bottom. I ran to my family to tell them what had happened. My mother grabbed the movie camera. My dad went into the water and retrieved the head of the mullet. I have a 8mm film of that retrieval. But I will never forget seeing that happen.
