Then it decided I was chow and in a second it clammed on to my left thigh and started pulling me down. After it latched on to me I think it was more like 3 ft. The whole time it was flashing red and feel it chewing threw my wet suit. I was at 90 ft so I inflated my bc and that was the only reason he couldn't get me down and gave up and left. I am really grateful their wasn't two or more I would not have made it. The locals warned about diving deep at night in open waters. Hopefully you live and learn.
