Feeding animals in the wild can have all kinds of unintended consequences, one of which is illustrated by this story.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your comment about not diving alone, generally that also is true, although there are circumstances in which diving without a partner may be appropriate, and in such cases there are things that can be done to mitigate the potential danger, e.g., having a fully redundant air supply. On the other hand, diving with a poorly trained or careless dive partner can be as fraught with risk as diving alone. I probably should write about this issue. <BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-49026623417618533522008-10-06T06:54:00.000-10:002008-10-06T06:54:00.000-10:00So then fish are like bears and other creatures, I...So then fish are like bears and other creatures, I take it: not to be fed because they'll start expecting handouts and become aggressive.<BR/>What an adventure you had! This would be an excellent illustration of why one should never dive alone.<BR/>The Wrasse in the second photo, in particular, looks like an illustration from the Beatles' <I>Yellow Submarine</I> film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
