How come I'm not happy to be back? :-) I went snorkeling, not scuba. I tried scuba once, broke an eardrum, gave it up. Of course, I got the quickie 10-minute Mexican training course. That may have had something to do with it. If you're afraid of rodents and spiders and cats and the dark, are you likely to freak if fishes dart about near you in the dim underwater? If you're afraid of the dark at home, probably. But it's not that dim. If it is, you shouldn't be there. There are things that can hurt you bad if you can't see them. Not fish. Rocks. Coral. If you can't see, you should get out. I have a feeling I wouldn't, but are there people who go and as soon as they get under the H2O and the fishes come near them get the heck out of the water asap? There undoubtedly are such people. They are the same ones that run from cuddly mice. Very few fish will hurt you. I've seen a few sharks and some rays. The eels actually scare me more. They mean to bite. Portuguese men of war will drive me out of the water immediately. If I am lucky enough to see them (their tendrils are almost invisible). I got nailed by one once. They give you a new definition of the word "pain". I was lucky to get back to shore. The pain was so bad that the arm they hit was useless. I had one arm and two legs in working order.
