When I lived in Florida back in the late 80's I did some marine construction. (banging nails and pouring concrete underwater). One of the guys I worked with told me of a scary experience he had a few years earlier. He was hired to make a dive at the bottom of a dam to do some concrete assement. Said he and a partner went down to the bottom and were looking at the wall when they were approached by some monsters. He said" I know everything looks bigger underwater, but these fish were looking at us like we could be lunch" They headed back to the surface and refused to go back down. Both said " those Jew fish were big enough to swallow us whole"

Most people associate sharks with the idea of eating people, but a grouper......
