Fish, Man’s Best Friend
This unique video, courtesy of Alexandre Boscari, was taken a little over a week ago while diving in Port-Cros. The fish in question is a Grouper or “mérou” in French. They are usually pretty tolerant of people, but this one is downright friendly.
Evidently, this fish is known by the locals as the “Mérou Calin”.When it sees divers, it approaches them slowly, and waits to be petted, just like a dog! Check out the video after the jump to check it out. Thanks again to Alex for this great footage.
Wonderful Morning!
Grouper or mérou in French
Saw my first grouper (or mérou in french) in the bay this morning! In fact, I saw my first two grouper. Pretty big day, it was one of the only things I had never seen, and now I can leave for Thailand on a super good note.

The sea was calm and visibility was great, and I also saw two cuttlefish (or Seiche in french). In fact, I got some video of them spraying ink and scooting away super fast. I will post those some time after I get back from Thailand. I also saw a bunch of Scorpionfish (or Rascasse in French). Got some good pictures of those too.

This week has been super busy, so I didn’t get my Canon Powershot D10 review completed yet. Stay tuned. I will try to have it completed for when I get back from Thailand.
Talk to you all in a couple weeks!
