Title – Giant Barracuda
Date – August 2001
Location - Papua New Guinea
The Giant Barracuda is really a fish worth giving a wide berth to. As the magpies of the sea, they love nothing more then taking a snap at any shiny object in the sea, be that your watch or chrome attachments to your diving gear. Its razor sharp rows of teeth will mean your wetsuit provides about as much protection as a wet tissue.
The trick is to check your suit for shiny objects before you dive in areas where they are found and turn your dive watch onto the inside of your wrist to stop it reflecting.
Beyond The Blue instructors have a hundred different tips that they introduce when relevant into our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop.
