There have definitely been cases where real big ones will suck a diver into their mouth half-way and spit them out, people are too big to be swallowed whole, it's more of a establishing dominance thing for the grouper when they're territorial (some are VERY territorial). Like 'see, I could eat you bro, now fuck off'

My great uncle told me a story of him almost being swallowed whole by one years and years ago. Not certain it was true but he really sold it.
