YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Being chased by a fish with sharp teeth seems like something out of a cartoon, but it was a reality for one Alabama man who was bitten on the leg during a dive off the coast of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

Alex Pikul, 31, was on a three-week group scuba trip in September when he swam over a nest of triggerfish eggs after veering off course due to a strong current. As the group passed over, a male triggerfish charged at them, biting Pikul’s leg and leaving him grabbing his limb in pain.

“Maira [the owner of the diving company] was going first and all of a sudden a triggerfish starts chasing her and so I swim up and try to shoo it away,” the café owner told South West News Service. “It startled me and it certainly hurt but it didn’t break skin or anything, so it wasn’t dangerous.”
