Orcas give me pause. I mean I look like a damn seal in murky water. The blood red fins probably aren't helping much either. This is very likely an unfounded "fear" but sharks bother me less than orcas. I don't want to be their play toy or lunch.
 
From personal experience :

- over bearing dive buddies who know all better and have done all better, but who fail to give you basic assistance and don't even understand basic hand signals,
- the same applied to sea captains : yeah I know, it's above water, but wondering if the boat will be there at the end of the dive can be quite scary,
 
To find the surface crew helped themselves to the good stuff I had stashed at the bottom of the cooler.
We got back to the boat after a dive in Jamaica to find the mate with a joint in his mouth, sorting through his stash.

Needless to say we didn’t use them again.
