The first time we dove Truk Lagoon (Chuuk), in the pre dive briefing for one ship they told us about a Lion Fish who hung out on the port stern. They said if we wanted his attention to take a camera. My buddy Michael and I were first in the water and first to the lionfish. He sat sleeping (?) on a railing dull boring and uncolored. Then the next guy showed up, pulled out his camera, and this fish raised up, went spread eagle with all his fins and flushed out his colors and proceeded to pose an a way only supermodels could.
Now you tell me how this stupid fish came to know what a camera is ?

In Bikini Atoll, one of the ships sunk there is the Nagato, which commanded the attack on Pearl Harbor. Even tho it is on it's side, how many people in the history of the world can say they have stood on it's bridge? Most of the tour was exterior, but we did go thru the galley and the kitchen and into a storage room. From the storage room the group exited a tear in the hull, after noting a nurse shark sitting on the sand inside. I was last, and as I got to the breach the shark lifted and started swimming slowly towards me. Keeping in mind that this is a bottom and not a man feeder, and that you don't want to run from any animal, I none the less did not want to turn my back on it and instead shone my dive light in it's eyes as I took a position in the door. It kept coming, more slow and curious than menacing, But when it got within a few arm lengths I raised the light to smack it on the nose (and they had laughed at me for carrying a bulky 8D light that looked more like a club ). That was all it took, the shark did a 180 and sped out the other side of the hull. I used that opportunity to do a hasty backwards exit out my side. I got many quizzical looks from the other divers as to why I delayed, and needless to say the decompression stops seemed twice as long on the way up! 'Couldn't wait to share that story!
