OglalaDiver once bubbled...
My favorite WAS the turtles....saw a HUGE turtle in the Keys last year that was simply amazing. Then, a few months later, diving in Panama City, FL.....one tried to bite about 6 of us in our group. He was VERY aggressive....biting several fins, cameras, tank straps and almost some arms and legs. However....once back on the boat you heard all of us saying....DANG THAT WAS COOL!!!

Was it this fellow?

Here's one for ya'll. Check it out on the net and you will not find much. There is a wreck up here and I see lots of these. Got one sort of tame one I've been working on. Have been able to swim with him/her a couple of times. Very unique and cool! The size is not what they say. my "buddy" is about 4 1/2 feet long. They also share the same ground with a very large wolf eel. Grabbed the wolf eel once by accident. Boy was that suprising

I agree with Scubaroo.

There is an amazing little tank at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro with lots of my favorites on display.

Rick, it looks like that turtle is zooming in for lunch. Ouch!

I have to agree with Dee, that Octopi are way cool. They are very intelligent and inquisitive. I could spend hours watching and interacting with them. I have a couple of video sequences on my website if anyone is interested.

I've only ever dived twice so I havn't seen much at all, I would love to dive with dolphins there intelligence facinates me and I'd love to be able to experience meeting them out of a boat on aquarium.

My favorites are both tied for #1 and couldn't be more different

Manatee - how could you not love them?

Shark - nothing in the water gets my attention like a cruising reef shark

Nothing in particular... I love the variation and chaos!
