Scuba diving allows you to visit places and to see things that many others may never see. The mysteries of the sea are odder than anything you and I can imagine. After years of diving I have only witnessed a small number of these oddities, but I have compiled them here for you to view and wonder at. If you are a novice diver, or are contemplating scuba lessons, don't let these frightening and disturbing images influence your decision to pursue this wonderful hobby. The creatures you will see below are rare indeed. Just keep in mind...the truth is out there, trust no one!
The Horrific Pink Frilled DeeDee Beast
The Horrific Pink Frilled DeeDee Beast, or HPFDB for short, has long been a creature of myth and mystery. Many say such a creature could never exist, yet sightings appear to be on the increase. The author has personally witnessed its ungodly visage on several occasions and has even suffered personal attacks by the vile fiend. Make no mistake friends, this horrific monstrosity is alive and well here in Florida.
Here the loathsome DeeDee Beast is shown on one of its rare forays from the water. If you should ever be so unlucky as to spot one of these hideous creatures take care to avoid any contact with the slimy fiend.
What is Known of the HPFDB???
Unfortunately, given the HPFDBs vile temperament and proclivity for violent outbursts of unprovoked rage, many divers, researchers and curious bystanders have lost limbs or even their lives in their first (and only) encounter with one of these animals. This diver, however, seems to have developed a rapport, if not an uneasy friendship, with at least one of these mean spirited beasts. I have reviewed my notes to date and offer the following personal observations;
- The HPFDB displays an extreme and inexplicible preference for the color pink. In nearly every encounter, the HPFDB was seen to be displaying this color almost exclusively.
- The HPFDB seems to prefer water. It is this diver's opinion that the creature is utilizing the environment to help support its great bulk. This is open to debate, as its movement does not appear to be inhibited on land, nor does it appear to possess any great grace when submerged.
- HPFDBs definitely abhor cool water, prefering water temperatures in excess of 85 degrees.
- HPFDBs appear to be loners and have never been observed in congregations.

The Doofus Diver
Here is a strange marine oddity known as a Doofus Diver. This goofy creature is far more innocuous than the DeeDee beast. Often quite humorous to observe, this one is shown attempting to attract a mate with its odd courtship dance.
The Mutant Diver
This is truly a rare find. The Mutant Diver is extremely uncommon. This one was spotted on a small dive charter out of Sarasota, Florida. Communication with these gentle creatures is difficult, due to the lack of a mouth. Approaching one requires stealth since, though they have no eyes, their hearing is quite adequate. This one is wearing a scuba mask, its function is unknown.
