Things I Don't Want To Encounter While Diving
I had no idea there were so many weird and/or ugly and/or scary things living under the ocean surface.
I'd previously heard of very few of these.

I know that most of these creatures live in the deep ocean, but I may never swim in the ocean again.
That Viperfish reminds me of my brothers ex-wife, all mouth, hard on the eyes, looks like it will eat anything that happens by. Yeah, I just looked again, it's her.

Those photos are more unsettling than the first time I watched "Jaws".
You hit it right: weird, ugly, & scary.

Oh great. Thanks in advance for the nightmares, Rand.
On the other hand, I'd pay good money to see a pelican eel turn up in the pot at a crawfish boil. Pure entertainment, that'd be.

Does not bother me.
Some of these things are poisonous, but I knew that already. The only one out of the 24 which can eat me is Colossal Squid, but the chances of actually meeting one at the depths I dive are infinitesimal. And things which are just plain ugly I don't worry about.

The poisonous/lethal octopus the size of a golf ball is more evidence that Australia is dangerous.
Everything native to Australia is poisonous, strange, or both.

One word: vegemite.

There are creatures down there.
