I have read some supposedly firsthand accounts, one by a guy who raised his camera to get a shot of a barracuda, and the picture he got was of the inside of its mouth.
I'm always a little nervous around them with my camera (and very few things make me nervous underwater).
I've heard similar accounts and usually make sure to move extra slow around them, both raising and lowering my camera when shooting them.

Dive watches that are made of stainless steel are still used by the watch industry. Should I be concerned about wearing these types of watches when diving? From what I have been reading, that might be a bad idea. If anyone is an expert on fish behavior, please feel free to chime in.
I always wear my watch inside the cuff of my wetsuit.
I started doing this when I was in the Navy & did some work underwater around some rebar and scratched the crystal on my watch.
When I started hanging out around barracuda on a regular basis, I figured it was a good policy to continue.
