What oceanic creature do you fear in the water?

Are you guys scared of sharks? I don't really get that feeling from you
guys as divers, not as much as I thought anyway. So what's out there
that might send you into a panic if you saw one in open water?



For the record...I'm not a big fan of Cone snails. [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

My fear? Some idiot diver withhis firstspeargun who sees my shadow and mistakes me for some sort of threat and lets fly.

Stingrays. And no, it has nothing to do with Steve Irwin. I've always been scared of stingrays. You always see them out here and I am starting to get used to them. They are absolutely beautiful to watch, very graceful. Although if they start swimming towards me I do start swimming backwards!

I hate jelly fishes, they creep me out.

Never really sawa shark I felt threatened by, but I haven't been in the water with a great white or a tiger either. I'm pretty sure I'd wet my dry suit if I saw one of them swimming towards me.

i'd be worried if i saw a bunch of jellies - for some reason i'd be more afraid of that than a bunch of sharks...

It was a shark until I saw my first one then the fear went away and I look forward to seeing them now.

I believe an alligator would scare me pretty good. Especially a large one.

Yeah, watching "Hunter and Hunted" on National Geographic HD right now. Scary stuff on alligatiors.
