There are always some unexpected surprises when diving -

It could be being ‘punched in the face’ by a school of fish, or it could be a sudden problem with your equipment scaring your soul out of your body ......

What are some of the hilarious / thrilling / What are some of the hilarious/thrilling/unbelievable diving moments everyone has encountered? Let's talk about your stories

" Who gets it! Finding the wetsuit zipper closed while diving (social death moment +1)

What about your experiences?
Being “molested” by sea life?
Or was it the equipment malfunction/failure to operate moment?
Or was it the underwater spectacle of encountering the opposite side of the world altogether?

Please share! Preferably with a picture/video so I can laugh at you (and envy you)!
 
A large seal nibbled my fins while I was spearfishing in Devon, around Burgh Island!

Later, I dived down into a dark gulley, so I could watch fish swimming above me but as I swam down, I startled the large seal that was already laying in the dark gulley; likely it had a similar idea/plan to catch passing fish!! :D

BTW Many sea anglers pack up and leave if a seal shows up.

I figure they have as much or more right to be there. We're using their "larder" for our recreation, after all. :D
