Not really "sea monsters", but cool under water creatures pictures. We have a guy on our deep wreck team that does most of the media and he snapped most of these while working:

Our aforementioned media guy, pinching a barracuda's tail (they can only see out the sides, not in front or behind them, which is how he was able to sneak up on it):

Now, this picture was not taken by us, but I have seen something akin to it before, out on the great barrier reef during spawning. It is my contribution to the "monster" part of this thread. Open up and say ahhh:

I had to resize the shark picture. The original high quality version I have is much larger. If you want it the original, let me know and I'll PM the link to ya.

Yeah, he really didn't give a shit I was petting him, more concerned about eating the barnacles off the rig pylons. Here is another, he and I on a leisurely swim:

I seriously doubt you are a virgin.

I hum that sometimes while I'm down there in the deep dark stuff. Keeps me on my toes when I'm narked out of my gourd.

I've seen humboldts before and that was unnerving enough. But those, I'm hauling ass. I'll deal with the decompression sickness.

u diving nitrox or the heliox mixture their?

That was a shallow jaunt to 130, with 28% nitrox to keep the PP02 down because I had 5 more dives and a night dive to do that day.

This is a deep dark hypoxic 17/35 trimix working salvage dive, with 50% O2 slung, and 100% O2 under the boat:

I can only do two of those a day without running the risk of turning my blood into foam. Which really sucks, by the way.
