A Great Hammerhead encounter here in Florida is one one my favorites. I have had 6 in Boynton Beach in 12 years. These are not shark dive/baited or feeding dives. One brief encounter was with Mr Lobster, @Johnoly

Love those Hammerheads!

The Sergeant Baker is probably named after Governor Phillip's orderly sergeant, William Baker. Sergeant Baker came to Australia as a Corporal of Marines on the transport ship Charlotte. He was reported to have been a keen fisherman, and possibly the first white settler to have caught this species.

I got a kick out of seeing lionfish in the Mediterranean even though they are invasive species and no doubt, an environmental disaster. Fish are generally quite dull in that part of the world, so brightened the place up a little bit.

Served with some Calamarie on the side with a slice of lemon would help reduce the problem.
I read on this site they are quite tasty, of course they are not eaten here.

I trained in Aquatic Ecology so all fish have their own special attraction for me, but I get my greatest challenge trying to get a good image of a shark or barracuda. I've got to trick them into thinking I'm doing something interesting so they will come close to investigate. I’ve posted this guy on several threads , but I never get tired of seeing him!

I had a thread on the solo diving forum. I would have loved to have taken a few for dinner, but spearing on SCUBA isn't legal in Cyprus. I believe several groups are working on it.

We have at least one species present in the far north of New Zealand, but I haven't seen one yet.
