I saw a sunfish at my regular dive spot last weekend, very shocked/in awe of occasion. I looked down and there it was, about 1.5 to 2M round, swimming at 5M bellow surface. Scared at first (I had no idea what it was) I recomposed my self, dived, and swam at arms length of it for a heartbeat accelerated 45 seconds. Relaxed and repeated several times. It was very slow and graceful, and although it did recognize my presence, was generally quite nonchalant. These are rare here, and unfortunately associated with Mako and great white "guest appearances"
