While diving a sheer ledge out on the Sunshine Coast of Canadia, as I was hovering along side the ledge doing some decompression obligations, I got to watch a 4-5' doggie swim out from the green abyss and run right in the middle of my chest. It never tried to bite me - was more like a moronic dogfish torpedo. Just came out of nowhere with me in it's sights, and hit me center of mass. Fortunately, the sharkhead must have been a dud, as it didn't explode.

It sorta bumped (hard) off of my chest, did a couple of quick turns in the water and then swam off back in to the green abyss as I tried to grab it's tail.

Of all the thousands of dives I did off of Alki and up in Barkley Sound, I've still never personally seen a 6-gill, or any other oceanic shark while diving. frown

Just some chinarks.
