Some years ago, while I was on the boat at LCBR waiting for the afternoon divers to load, one of the divers went to the stern and splashed his foot around in the water to wash off the sand. There was a mighty splash and water and blood flew onto the stern. The foot washer stood with a very bloody foot. Because of the many cuts we immediately laid him down and elevated the foot and tried pressure on the worst of the cuts as we waited for help. Fortunately, there was a doctor in our dive group who was coming toward the boat. He was transported to the nurse's clinic along with the diver where he put 52 stitches in the diver's foot. Unfortunately, this was the divers first dive day and he did not want to leave his group so he spent the rest of the week sitting by the pool.
Having grown up with Barracuda, I was sure that one was the culprit and wanted to jump in for a look. But, Andy, then the resort manager, said no and that he would do it. He then performed the fastest entry and exit to the water that I have ever seen. "Nothing there" he said. When I finished laughing at his antics of fear, I walked around the boat and saw a 3 foot 'cuda between the boat and the dock. It was, of course, a major mistake by the 'cuda. I remember commenting that he looked a bit embarrassed.
