I think I would die of fright. I was in Dorado, Puerto Rico last week, and stayed on the Atlantic side. Luckily, the resort had big boulders up to break the waves, and to simulate the beaches of the Caribbean side. However, these 3 flat headed fish with big eyes that were about 7 incheslong insisted on ramming into my boyfriend's legs.

I thought he was kidding until he brought them to me (they were following him) and one hit me. I almost jumped out of the water. Luckily, the rocks were such that only tiny fish could get in. Another person told us that the tiny fish around were sardines.

I don't know if these were baby sharks, but they were intensely creepy.

Actually, I left out that there were these blunt headed fish in addition to sardines. We were not being attacked by sardines. And I added in Dorado just before I hit post, which is redundant with 'Atlantic side'.

Those were probably pilot fish figuering your "boyfriend's" hairy legs would attrack smaller food items such as plankton and barnacles, etc. That, or they were trying to 'steer' you to another vacation spot. ~;^)
