Yikes!

They'd be scooping ballast out of my wet suit if this happened to me. http://de.fishki.net/picsw/022008/01/photo/new6.jpg

What kind of fish is that?

Oh, C'mon! No story behind the picture?

I believe that's a grouper. Just a random pic I found. The story would be a diver looking at a school of tiny fish when this big head pops out. Water gets warmer and yellower.

Looks like a jewfish

Let's not be politically incorrect. In 2001 the American Fisheries Society renamed the jewfish the goliath grouper out of concern for the potential offensiveness of the name.

These days, you gotta wonder who they were afraid of offending -- Jews or Muslims.
