I've seen a trout bite through a dry glove and break the skin on a diver's hand while striking at something the diver dropped that the fish thought was food. The trout can dislodge regulators and hit your mask hard enough to bloody your nose when feeding. Might keep that in mind with your Cobia.

They are not aggressive but they come really close. Cobia don't have teeth so they cannot bite through anything but there mouths when fully open are bigger than a humans head at least mine are and that alone can be strange to see.
I would suggest not wearing a bikini top because we have one that likes to pull the strings "ever so gently" and before you know it you have been just undressed by a cobia.
They seem to like the snorklers more for that kind of stuff but that one seems to like ladies tops....... just not on there bodies
I have never had one mess with my regs or anything on me. Maybe it's the bubbles but they do still like to come really close and swim with you.
These fish start at 2' and go right now to 5' - 6' so they are pretty big and of course they do look bigger underwater than looking at them on topside. These are very wide fish. They do not have scales there skin is smooth.
Ber you can handle it I would think but I just want people to know they are not swimming with little tropical fish on the reefs these are BIG fish and they don't have anywhere esle to go, so you dive with them the entire time you are down there.
People I think need to know this before they decide to take that step off the platform.

No you cannot eat the lobster we are planning on serving them in the resturant when it opens. 
I would like to see the quarry filled with lobster one day and at that point in time we may have a you catch (one) and we will cook it for you at the resturant. We could do something like that an certain months and of course it would have to be lobster season. Have to follow the Laws.
and trying to do some topside clean-up.
