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.
