Baracuda, Fowl Cay

Soon after we entered the water at Fowl Cay, we saw this fellow lurking in the shadows. The Great Baracuda have the unnerving habit of approaching divers and following them about the reef. Fortunately, this appears to be just curiosity as there are no reports of unprovoked attacks. Nonetheless, I found myself looking over my shoulder more than usual on this snorkeling expedition.
