Sea Snakes

[Searcaigh]

We had six different seasnakes on Saturday on our first dive varying from around 30cm to 2m in size

On a snorkel trip in Noumea a couple of years ago, our snorkel guide pointed out several sea snakes in the water, and then thought it was great sport to play with/handle a 1.5' sea snake he came across on the shore. Although he assured us we would be in no danger handling the snake because it had a small mouth and teeth, we politely declined, but thought he was a real moron, especially since he was a very long way from medical care. We make it a point to not handle/harass any wildlife, and more so for those that can kill us.

Any stories of sea snake bites and scuba divers? I understand they are not aggressive but of course it could happen.

I saw one on a blackwater dive in Similan Islands.

Hey mate just wondering, which side of the brain you don't use and how many hours it takes
before you actually decide to demean someone you don't know about the size of their penis

I'm quite sensitive about it but could send you a photo to laugh, but you would probably cry

But you would have to blow up the picture

I'm quite sensitive about it but could send you a photo to laugh, BUT YOU WOULD PROBABLY CRY

BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BLOW UP THE PICTURE

You know you enlarge the photo so you can actually see what it's a photo of

Have another read, The King, and wrap your head around how hilarious I am

We are having fun talking about snakes whether land sea or the trouser type

Since you dispense a disproportionate amount of s**t to other posters, shouldn't your skin be a bit thicker?

By the way it's called completely warranted observations combined with tips and tricks for diving improvement
So obviously, the outcome of any post, must surely be governed solely, by the listeners qualified interpretation

You haven't seen what you're talking about

I am truly hilarious

I have encountered yellow bellied sea snakes while diving the Pacific coast of Panama. Never been an issue as they are not aggressive, lack fangs and I was in a 5mm wet suit.
