DON’T THREATEN US WITH YOUR SORCERER’S WAYS LORD VADER!

​Yes, you can laugh underwater. Or at least chuckle through your regulator. One such occasion came years ago when I was helping at the Boy Scout Sea Base in Islamorada Florida, a high adventure facility of the Boy Scouts of America. Several of us as Instructors and Divemasters had entered the water from the boat and descended to the bottom of Molasses Reef. We were the precursors before the adolescent Scouts began their descents.

However as the giant herd of young Scouts began dropping down through the water to the rendezvous point, and flailing around like startled bats scurrying out the belfry, suddenly there were no fish! It was if the fish looked up to see this gigantic flock of ominous cloud descending toward them and they responded “Holy mackerel! What the heck is that? I’m out of here!” I doubt there was a fish within 50 yards of the group. I guess we were a potential threat. It’s obvious the fish wanted nothing to do with us.

​It’s a natural instinct for animals to flee potential harm. This includes aquatic life. So the moral of the story is simple. The divers who want to see fish are the divers who don’t pose a threat and scare them away. Divers should swim slowly, efficiently, and seemingly effortlessly through the water. Divers who are trim, neutral, and deliberate don’t pose much of a danger, and fish treat them accordingly.
