What's the coolest living thing you've ever seen underwater?

A Blue Marlin diving down and taking a grunt. Only lasted about 2 seconds. This happened at the Flower Gardens. Capt. Frank of the Spree said it was the first time he has ever heard of this there. He said it was probably a Sailfish, so my dive buddy and I got out the ID books, and it was diffantly a Blue Marlin about 6 to 8 feet long not counting it's sword. It all happened about 20 feet from us at about 75 ft. down on Stetson Bank.

The coolest thing I have seen so far is a wolf eel. Still want to see a 6 gill.

I have seen some pretty funny bubble makers floundering around (me included)

The wolf eels are truly great, and I have been blessed to see them on several occasions (usually pretty deep)...I also saw a six-gill at night where we weren't supposed to see it (we swam slowly alongside for about 10 minutes, and we cut off the encounter). You will love it.

Correct -- shark.

Well let's see, I am easily amazed at times. I love to see the Sea Horses, Octopus, Hammerhead Shark, big sculpin and such.

Sea Dragon... one odd animal. Then a whale shark...
