Under Sea from David R Ryle on Vimeo.
I went scuba diving a few times in my life. The last time I went was in the Florida Keys. I happened to have a high fever but still decided to take the trip. We went out to sea much further than I expected and under the water our group went. The water was deep and then I came upon a ridge. The ridge was really an underwater cliff. I never saw anything so deep or frightening. I’m not sure if it was the fever or not but I’ll never forget that scene.

I had a similar experience, although I was snorkeling, and we weren’t in the Keys but quite a way east from Miami. Same deal-deep water, a ridge that was an underwater cliff, and the abyss-but with an added twist: there was a barracuda riding the current, just hovering there, watching me—it continually adjusted its position so that it was always facing me. I remember it was such a contrast, this shiny, silver beast of a fish, teeth all poking out every which way, gleaming there against the background of dark, midnight blue water. Freaky shit!
Great story… yes sounds familiar. The sea is a strange freaky place!
