On the 8th of August, my husband I am joined some friends on a trip to the Bahamas. We stayed in a resort on the beach, with multiple swimming pools, several different eating spots, and an adjoining casino.
On the day we arrived, I got my dive mask and jumped in the ocean with everyone else. I saw grass growing on the bottom, and headed out to see if there were any fish. In about 8 feet of water, I suddenly noticed a barracuda that appeared to be 6 feet long! I stopped, he looked at me, and worked his jaws a little; showing me several teeth that poked out of his lower jaw.
Attempting to appear casual, I turned around, and swam away without kicking my feet or thrashing around a lot. I thought about those "idiots" in movies who always trun and look behind them when they're being chased. I decided I'd rather not know he was about to have me for lunch. When I got back to the shore, I told my friends about the barracuda, and we agreed it was time to go check out a pool.
