Funniest thing you've seen underwater?

What's the funniest thing you've seen underwater?

Saw an instructor get attacked by a triggerfish, we'd warned him it was there and he insisted on swimming over the top of the rock it was lurking behind.. never seen someone swim so fast in all my life!

funniest thing i have ever saw under water was a baby wobbygong shark about 18inches long firmly attached to the inside of my left arm. At first it didnt seem so funny but after a while the prediciment i was in got more and more amussing (I wasnt scuba diving i was snorkling in 7ft of water)

the wobby gong had hold of my left forarm and my right hand had hold of the wobbygong. (try and visuilse this position) Bit of a catch 22. He wouldnt let go of me - so i wouldnt let go of him . Although i did try to release him, thinking he would then release me. WRONG... ! When i started to let him go he started to twist so i held on tight and very slowley made my way back to shore 50mtrs away, and very embaressed asked my mate if he wouldnt mind gently priusing him off me. There i stood dripping blood out of a nasty little gash with the kids ignoring me so they could watch the wobbgong swim happily away..

Thank god he wasnt a dirty big beast or i couldve drowned cause when they latch on they dont let go.

Someone who's wet suit had parted ways up the back seam in the general area of the gluteus maximus . . . once again the rare, ellusive moonfish.

My friend Mark and his very creative hand signals for queen triggerfish, tuna, and jacks. :11:

Escorting a group of students on a deep dive, warm water, swim suits only, one of the female students had one breast come out of her rather small swim suit top. Don't know how long she was exposed, but once we noticed, my buddy (also a DM) and I made a barricade so she could compose herself. Most of the male students had noticed, so once we were back on the surface she announced that since all the guys had received a free show, on the next dive the guys would have to go without suits.

No one took her up on it, but she did manage to yank one guys suit down to his knees the next dive. It just happened that was when we were feeding hot dogs to the fish. Seeing him scramble to save his 'hot dog' was hilarious.

The funniest thing I have see so far was on a dive in Cathedral, on the Aliwal Shoal. Our group was descending into cathedral coz we had spotted a raggie in there. So we all calmly go down, my dive buddy Shaun was super excited, never been so close to a shark before, then he saw another one, and another one, all in all there were 9 raggies circling us, and each time Shaun saw another one, his eyes got bigger, and he squeezed my hand tighter and tighter...He was doing pretty well until he turned around and saw our resident Potato Bass....And he freaked and acsended as fast he could be allowed to, but i had to catch him and calm him down! I was laughing so much because with all those sharks, he freaked out at a potato bass! I have to admit though, our potato bass is rather large, about the size of 4 small-med raggies, and the bass's lips were right by his eyes when he turned around..man it was classic!

A couple weeks ago we were screwing around on one of the training platforms at the quarry. I took my mask off and when I put it back on there was an instructor kneeling infront of me, a student standing next to him and a couple more students crashing down all around. My initial reaction was, "help, help the sky is falling!"

During a discover scuba course at the Kauai Hyatt got to see some honeymooners "spawning." They teach the class in very secluded part of the pool. But the class soon submerges (after a solid 12 minutes of training) and swims to other even more secluded parts of the pool. We discovered a lot...
