haha... ok

I once got attacked by a big Titan Trigger Fish. It was guarding it's nest in the sand. Not in deep water, maybe 40ft. I was curious as normally you dont/cant get close to them so as I got closer it suddenly turned and attacked me, it was vigorously trying to bite me, and as it swam around me looking for good place to bite me, I broke the surface of the water. It finally gave up and returned to the bottom... that was close.

Another time, between dives (we could get 4 a day) I was snorkeling over the shallow reef area, i was looking for shells. Anyway, I lifted up a big rock looking for Cowry Shells and as the sand settled I saw a another rocky looking thing underneath. To my horror it was a deadly poisonous Stone fish. I dropped the stone I was lifting and you had never seen anyone move so fast in the water.

Well, I did my training with some US Air Force pilots. This was during the Desert Shield operation in 1990. The evening the war started, these guys were the first to fly in as they were piloting the F-111's with the jamming systems attached to their aircraft.
