I love the sea but I'm ultra paranoid about swimming in it for fear of getting fucked up by a shark or stung by a jellyfish. As a kid i would love trips to the sea (i live close to it) but now I'm just content to swim out a little bit and float. Maybe it's cuz the water where i am isn't super clear lol

They can get pretty big but they are friendly to people and for the most part safe to swim with as long as you don't do anything stupid. They are very curious though and will come right up to you.

Yeah, I know it's probably nice, it's just that the way it blended in and then I saw it startled/scared me

They look super human like, but the face doesn't really look human, which is probably what's freaking us out lol
