The Pacific barracuda that we have in California are much smaller, but in a previous life I did a lot of diving in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic with Great Barracuda, and I never gave them a second thought. I even dropped my young kids in near Key West in a big school of them.

The only aggressive act I've ever seen was one made a tentative pass at a barracuda that had been speared.
