Not seen any evidence that this is a research diver, and the behavior seems to prove he's not.

As a diver, fuck this dude. You don't touch wildlife while diving. If it's ugly leave it alone, if it's pretty leave it alone, if it's unusual leave it alone. They teach everyone this and other divers will call you out on doing this shit.

Just fucking leave it alone.
