Dang. This is hard lol. One that comes to mind is snorkeling at molasses reef and seeing a school of 5-6ft snook.
Another was a blue marlin going after a school of mahi that we were catching.
I'm sure others will come to mind later lol
My dream is to see and jump in the water with a Mola Mola!!
Btw, i'm very jealous of where you live. It's beautiful there. I'm going to the islands next month on a cruise
I love it there.

It is pretty nice the second place for me is ( both the mantis thing and this were seen while I was hunting lionfish) I saw a gigantic crab with claws at least 6" long and it just sat there. I have also seen a baby Nassau grouper and a juv. Queen angelfish. I have seen so many sharks over the years but about a month ago I saw a 4' bull shark. 'bout scared the crap out of me

Many years ago, diving off La Jolla, CA the squid were breeding. Millions of squid!
Below the squid were thousands of bat rays. Below the bat rays were bazillions of squid egg cases that the bat rays were feeding on.
Very cool. Circle of life...

Once attempted to take the picture of a cardinal fish during a night dive, a moray eel ate the cardinal just as I snapped the picture...got a great picture of the eel
Another time, while doing rescue training in the surf (working as a DM), a 4' hammerhead came past...everyone on the beach (Hollywood, FL) stood up screaming shark. It was just like a scene out of Jaws :lol: The instructor and myself, we turned to watch the shark and stayed in the water....laughing about the panic on shore

Would love to see a picture of that eel if you don't mind!

Nose to nose with a barracuda
Moray eels at Key Largo
6ish foot reef shark at Key Largo
And the damn Lion fish (invasive species) in the Bahamas at several locations. Amazing how many and how widespread they are.

You're going make me go through my slides and scan that one in, aren't you? :lol:
Definitely a juvenile hammerhead.

Most irritated I ever was with a fish, Barracuda hanging under the dive boat at Little Cayman. Had a camera and lens set up that required a minimum of arms length distance to focus. Damned Barracuda wouldn't back up more than a foot back from my face
