Yes, throwing sand sometimes work. Just scoop up the sand in front of you to make a dust cloud at the same time partially hiding you. But this also applies to those who are hunting. If they are just milling around, they'll ignore you, and sometimes they'll come nearer just about outside the range of your gun as if teasing you, then they'll turn away.
Dentex here is considered the terror of the Med. they go after schools of rabbitfishes, parrotfish. they ranges from 2-3 kg up to max I've seen is about 8 kg but this is a tough one, too clever to be speared.
I have also been measured by a leerfish and found that it was longer than me, so I just have a look since I am using a puny gun. The bugger swam right beside me after catching and consuming a big parrotfish.
