bgbill, Financial Advis and I had a large blacktip and a dusky follow us up from 140fsw to the surface. Never felt threatened by them. They were just sniffing around.

Jason had my back as an 8 footer was closing in on me fast. Ray's popper took care of that.

Had a sand tiger shoot out of a ledge and almost ram me.
Saw one dusky sniffing around until he saw me and he hauled tail.
Then saw what I believe to be a Big Bull (Possibly a dusky) chase after a fish that hauled butt when My shaft went clean through it.
All on different dives in the Grounds

A 7 footer, just a Caribbean reef shark I think, followed me up to 40' and came in on me three times. Twice I shooed him away, but the third time he got a well placed freeshaft to the head. The pest kicked once and fell out of the water collumn like a shot down biplane!

Haha, Spear One stole my line, although they can get a little sporty if they think it's dinner time.

Yeah, they can be a little pesky at times but at least you don't have to worry about losing a couple pounds of flesh or an appendage to them. Therefore....they don't count!

nurse shark just a big type of slt water catfish although more divers are bit every year than any other guess it might have something to do with pulling on their tail if i was sleeping under a nice ledge and some mean dive poked me or pulled my tail look out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same story as everybody else. Was in the north Mg and had one that kept on coming in on me. Yes, I had fish. After the 3rd poke at the 7' bull, I gave him the PH in the head. He left the scene swimming in spasms.
