Blue. I was workin' for a while on a fishin' boat right outside of Delacroix and I got tangled up in blue. ♪♪
 
Many years ago I was diving a lake in zero visibility when I bumped into a submerged tree and got tangled in the branches trying to extricate myself. I hit the tree trunk with my head so hard that I almost knocked myself out!

I learned in cave training to keep a hand out in front of me!

Barbed wire

55 gallon drum (It IS possible- I've done it)

Let's see... I think the scariest thing I've been caught up on was a wreck during my open water cert dives:shocked2: 16 years ago. Made me a bit nervous, but after a minute, I calmed down and got myself out of there. Now, wrecks are my favorite:D

Hope that was on the outside of the wreck.
Seeing as we are in Basic Scuba forum, need to point out that going inside a wreck is very dangerous unless you have the proper training to do so.

Nope, it was actually inside. My dumb@$$ decided to have a look inside. Bad idea:no: Now, with the training I've had, I've seen what I did wrong, and boy, it was a lot!!! Don't be like me, DO NOT penetrate wrecks, even small ones, without the proper training!! Take the courses, it's fun and will give you the tools to explore wrecks safely:)
 
All of my life-threatening entanglements as a dive instructor happened well after the day's diving was done.
