[Choose #5] Let’s just call it a barf-o-rama and leave it at that. Bit through my regulator and was still throwing up 4 hours after I got out of the water. Sadly, no pictures tho’.

[Choose #5] On a night dive,regular boat not available so we had a small one very little room to get gear on. Got in the water and noticed only one fin, try diving with one fin while holding a dive light and taking pictures it was fun let me tell you!

[Choose #5] Yeah, the sea sickness sux. Human error - I shouldn’t go out in the ocean on a boat. Equipment related - I def shouldn’t fiddle with gear while the boat is stopped. Depth related - problem is I’m not underwater

[Choose #1] I was dive guiding a group from Saudi Arabia on a shark dive, the bad ones, and being the dive guide I was the last one out of the water. I had to disconnect my Shark shield to pass my tank up, and ended up pushing off of an attacking shark .

[Choose #1] Had some jelly stings but the fire coral burn in St. Martin was the worst. I knew what it was, just had to get close to shoot pictures. Hurt like heck at first. Didn’t treat it in any way, it just gradually dissipated on its own within a few days.
