Large grouper fish approaches scuba divers for some love

Nassau groupers are extremely intelligent fish that inhabit much of the Caribbean, including the waters around the Cayman Islands. They are curious and friendly, and have been known to follow scuba divers, possibly for companionship, but possibly in the hopes that the divers distract the fish that would make an easy meal for the groupers. Either way, they are a delight to meet underwater and their playful personalities make them a hit with divers.This Nassau grouper had been following a family as they explored the reef along the wall surrounding Little Cayman Island. The grouper was swimming close to them and even in between them. It was paying close attention to what they were looking at and it even seemed to be curious about their bubbles. Eventually, Serena and Chris put their hands out and the grouper swam closer, seeming to want to be touched.
