This is the most aggressive underwater animal encounter I've experienced. Triggerfish are extremely territorial and fierce defendants of their nests, something I can definitely respect. Despite the encounter, I do respect them and am totally aware of the fact that we were the intruders.

Maria spends eight minutes talking about her terror in the deep, and all I'm wondering is, "are these fish tasty?"

@boonski Год назад

Now you have me wondering...

Triggering are an awesome fish to eat. I prefer the Queen Triggerfish over the gray triggers. When cooked right can be better than flounder

@j4v4x Год назад

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You triggered the Triggerfish! I guess that's how they got their name... Thanks for sharing your saga with us, Maria!

@ASurfgirl Год назад

They got their name from their locking dorsal fin but I know you were just making a joke.

@lizardtails4214 Год назад

they really said "NO PAPARAZZI!!!"

@Seamemaria Год назад

haha they did! xD

@thunderzilla3521 Год назад

Maria, triggerfish are known to be extremely protective of their territory and young. When attacked by one, swim horizontally because the nest is in a cone shaped column.

@Seamemaria Год назад

Indeed! We did experience their protective character :D Thanks!

@thunderzilla3521 Год назад

@@Seamemaria No problem😁

Trigger Fish are NUTS! I was snorkeling in very shallow water in the Indian Ocean some years back and came upon a scruffy stack of nothing much on the otherwise clean sandy bottom. From behind it a Picasso Trigger fish just erupted and went for me. There was just one and he was seriously pretty , so I just sat there as he buzzed me repeatedly , getting closer and closer. I tried to take a pic , but he was moving fast. I realised that I was being the asshole here , so I backed off a bit until he wasn't being threated by me anymore. He just stared at me until I swam back to shore. Sorry dude, my bad!

@Seamemaria Год назад

haha They are totally fearless when protecting their territory. Thanks for sharing 🙂

@jaimegonzaloelices3346 Год назад

They literally woke up and chose violence, big fan

@boonski Год назад

I love that we got a full video about this encounter. The shorts are such a teaser! Wondering. You told me these are Grey Triggerfish. Do all Triggerfish act this territorial/protective or just the Greys?

@Seamemaria Год назад

Seems like it pretty common amongst all triggers. But I've dived with other species and nothing like this ever happened.

@lexithan8622 Год назад

For a second I thought you were saying "we started chewing them" rather than "we started shooing them" and I was like WELL that escalated quickly.. xD

@Seamemaria Год назад

@entr0pydee Год назад

Love your videos, ma'am. Thank you for risking your toes so we don't have to XD

@Seamemaria Год назад

haha thanks! I'm glad you enjoy them! =)

@Opiuth Год назад

I am very curious if Maria had the feeling and thought "are these Crashfish that are stalking me?"

@KaimanaConservation Год назад

Triggerfish are one of the boldest fishes I've ever encountered! I've had a chunk bitten out of my snorkel fin before - by a Titan Trigger in Fiji ... so relatable! Thanks for sharing :)

@Nathan-sh1zg 11 месяцев назад

the t in ptsd stands for triggerfish

@user-vc5rp7nf8f Год назад

those triggerfish were definitely triggered

@amberanime Год назад

Not dangerous untill they bite holes in your air hoze/pipe thingy. Not all fatal attacks come from teeth in body or being dragged down. Sometimes the fatality comes from broken equipent.

@ledboypenglypengly6911 Год назад

Maria I love your videos thanks for your hard work

@Seamemaria Год назад

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them

@davidvanvoorhis8509 Год назад

Grey Triggers are cool but they are real A-holes when they want to be. I know several local divers ( myself included ) who have had crazy triggerfish encounters.

@AntonNidhoggr Год назад

Thx for your videos 😊

@Pyx3ll Год назад

Oh gosh. I hope having to draw a triggerfish didn't cause any anxiety D:

@SirPream Год назад

Maria experienced Twitter underwater

@Seamemaria Год назад

haha I think so xD

@deepskydiving8940 Год назад

Totally understand 😁. I had a similar experience when dividing in Malaysia. The bite can be serious though. I searched 'trigger fish bite' online after I was chased by trigger fish

@corvusrabenklang8608 Год назад

This was the day maria found a new hobby. Spearfishing! 😜

@joeygay7115 11 месяцев назад

Triggers cant act like the biggest baddest watchdog on rabies. Thing Cujo with fins

@nannaogashawarmabrendan Год назад

The triggerfish woke up and chose violence

@dopiley 3 месяца назад

Thankfully they're not Titan Triggerfish

@edgarquintana1306 Год назад

I believe the accepted word for you to use is "trigga" fish, only trigger fish can call each other trigger fish.

@rosshoyt2030 Год назад

TW: Trigger Fish 😂

@skycat7206 Год назад

Not gonna lie, I'd actually throw hands at the fish

@matteogiberti3297 Год назад

Years ago I was snorkeling in Sardinia's west coast about 400-500 m far from the shore 'cause I was in the middle of a bay trying to reach the other side when some barracudas started to swim in circle around me... I was quite scared expecting them to point at me and maybe biting. Luckily it didn't happended... Maybe they were just curious about the fancy blue-yellow surfer shirt I was wearing...

@jonathanlee8072 Год назад

Strange that this video didn't pop for me. That's bothersome.

@robertklein1497 Год назад

They seem to be triggered quite easily

@Seamemaria Год назад

They do haha

@Hardstyler981 Год назад

The correct name is JayZ fish

@speedracer2008 6 месяцев назад

Esse tipo de peixe pode ser muito agressivo. Isso é a razão por o seu nome inglês. É possível que estavam a defender o seu território.

@itsahostiletakeover Год назад

@3:10 is that a triggerfish already behind you on your first shot diving in? 😅

@Seamemaria Год назад

Yeah! They were following us right from the start haha

@christophhanke6627 Год назад

So tell me: Were you "triggered" by the triggerfish? ^^ I had a similar experience in my limnology course. While doing my field collection of insect larvae in the river, an adult dragonfly landing on my arm (had a Shirt on). First, I was like "Uhh, sweet. Now I can get a close-up on you". But seconds later that Red dragonfly just straight up bit my arm xD It thankfully did let go when i moved my arm around. It felt like getting stung by a cactus (which i managed on Malta, yay me^^).

@Seamemaria Год назад

The cutest ones are sometimes the most dangerous. I was definitely triggered haha

@lAsteriosl Год назад

What are they gonna do if you start to respond aggressively to their bites? Are they going to be more cautious? Or on contrary became more aggressive?

@Seamemaria Год назад

They seem like fierce protectors. So maybe as long as we are close to their nests, they will be trying to intimidate us. But I don't really know...
