|
|
|
[Choose #1] Ramora grabbed my finger and tried to swim away with my arm. No harm done. I put my hands behind me because of the Barracuda in front of me. Not seeing the Ramora I had to look to see if a finger was still there since I thought it was a Barracuda.

[Choose #1] Clownfish... very territorial creatures :)
|
|
|
[Choose #1] #1 the voracious Canyon Lake perch. Night dive during a weekend camping trip w/o wetsuits. Like a dozen tweezers plucking leg hair. It was a harrowing experience. Have had more close encounters w/ bulls and blacktips while wade fishing then diving.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] A dive buddy was bitten by a green Morey eel. I think the eel was attracted by the shiny reef stick that my buddy was holding
|
|
|
[Choose #1] A calico bass on my very first dive. Didn’t think it was cold enough to wear gloves, learned my lesson.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] An old and nasty green Morey Eel on a night dive! Around my ankle! But had 5mm boots and wetsuit, so I was lucky!

|
|
|
[Choose #1] Does another diver count? Cause if so then yes.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Cuts from coral or wrecks should be a different question.

[Choose #2] But I have seen it happen
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Not me, but my snorkel. It had a silver tip, and sea lion pups must have thought it was a sardine. They kept biting it and tugging at it.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Baracuda, night diving in Belize, 3 divers were bitten. One on the hand, one on the arm, and I was bitten on the abdomen. Suspect the reason was too many divers surrounding the fish and shining their lights. Only the hand bite required stiches.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] no i try to treat them with the respect they deserve in their own territory
|
|
|
[Choose #1] A Triggerfish guarding it’s nest under BHB got a chunk of my cheek. Damsels have been nipping at me for decades and I’ve been pinched a few times by crabs and lob-stas, not those unarmed southern kind!
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Bit by a moray eel while feeding stingrays. Put my hand down by some rocks to balance myself and it came out and it bit my finger.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] No but I have had a moray ell crawl under my butt while I was sitting on a rock watching Manta Rays. I even have a video of it.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I have been bitten a few times. Nothing down there is afraid of you. I once had a half inch long fish trying to bite me because my leg was too close to its hole in the mud.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Garibaldi in California are very aggressive when protecting their nests. Their bite is just enough to get your attention. Plus the local sea lions do like to nip at fins and hood/mask/snorkels.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] No but I once tried to pet a snapping turtle’s nose and he bit my finger.
