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.

Video from Port-Cros

My first, and incredibly lame, attempt at shooting underwater footage. It was more of an experiment than anything, but I think I will try again pretty soon. Take a look. Sorry if it is a bit shaky:


Updated About Page as promised!

I made updates to the “About” page as promised. Check it out: http://www.azur-diving.com/about/. I’m off to Port-Cros, an island in southern France for a weekend of snorkeling and diving. Check out this video of what I might see this weekend. Pics when I get back.
