While recreational diving in the Caribbean I had a dive buddy bail on me when three Caribbean Reef Sharks swam towards us. I saw them first, pointed them out to him, then began taking pictures. They passed by me about twenty feet away, and I turned to my buddy. He was nowhere to be found. I did a quick 360-degree search, then ascended. My buddy was in the boat. My first thought was he had some kind of problem and I asked him if he was okay. He apologized for leaving me without letting me know, saying that when he saw the sharks he panicked. Since we were 50+ feet down at the time, I had to ask if he did a proper ascent. He told me he did. As a precaution though, I grounded him and left him with the boat crew, telling them what happened and asking them to monitor him. I then began a second dive.
My wife and I were snorkeling in Hawaii and saw a small white tip... I didn't know she was Jesus, but she damn near managed to walk on water to get away from it....
That is the remnants of a large mako shark. I would estimate the weight before the attack at 600 -900 pounds. It had to be a killer whale or large great white doing the attacking. Even large fish become prey when hooked. Since a mako shark is one of the fastest fish in the ocean, I would guess a killer whale did this
The fish are just one of many many things in OZ that might kill you, but life goes on. Spiders, snakes, plants, breaking down with no water in the interior...
...farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies...
