I have been diving for around twenty years and personally cannot say I have been 'attacked' by any marine animal. Today, my daughter was diving with me in Anilao in the Philippines and she was attacked by a Titan Trigger Fish. She was attacked also by Titan Triggerfish last year after she was newly certified.
Am curious about what other marine life actually ''attack" divers. What marine animal has actually attacked you with intent to do damage. I mean unprovoked without chum in the water.
I do not count jellyfish stings or other accidental encounters. Just interested in deliberate attacks to do harm to a diver.
I believe the Tita Trigger Fish we encounter frequently, attack because of nests they are protecting in the area.
Please post any experiences that may be of interest in this topic.
