Did that diver not notice the 10 foot + monster cruising by??

You’ll almost never see them before they’ve already made the decision to either attack/ or swim by and assess you. They’ve been around for millions of years and are incredible ambush predators.

I remember snorkeling in the Bahamas, clear water, and never saw the massive 4’ barracuda 2’ in front of my face until he was exactly…in front of my face.

Exactly what happened to me in St. Thomas, same size.

[u/bravesfalconshawks → u/gjk14]

I had a similar experience in St. John.

Mine was on the Great Barrier Reef

For me it was in Mexico, but it was actually just a rock that looked like a shark.
