What kind of shark has purple spots and is yellowish brown?

I was scuba diving off the coast of Koh Chang, an island off the coast of Southeast Thailand in the Gulf of Siam, and beneath a ledge in maybe 30 feet of water, I saw a shark-like creature that had bright purplish spots. It was about 3-4 feet long. Does anyone know what kind of shark/fish this might be?

What Are the Things Considered in Scuba Diving Dangerous?

Scuba diving can be dangerous. If anyone tells you that it is not dangerous then they are lying to you. Being prepared and taking the proper training classes can help you to avoid most dangers, but this can’t make scuba diving completely danger free. It is very important that when scuba diving, dangerous things and situations are something you keep on your mind.

One of the top dangers of scuba diving that can’t be completely avoided or protected against is sharks. Sharks do not pose as huge of a threat as most people may believe. In fact, sharks attacking scuba divers is not common. Usually when a shark attacks it is due to confusion. A shark may see a diver at the water’s surface and mistake them for a seal or other prey. Avoiding shark attacks can often just be a matter of paying attention. If a shark knows you have seen him then he will likely just move away. Sharks do not usually attack if they know their prey has seen them.

Another scuba diving dangerous thing to be aware of is running out of air. This usually occurs due to being careless when preparing for a dive or due to failure of equipment. Running out of air is scary and very dangerous. It is best to be careful and to make sure that you definitely have enough air to last for the entire dive and that your equipment has regular safety checks.

Something else to be aware of is the dangers of bad weather. Weather can change quickly. You can’t simply rely on how it looks outside. You have to check weather reports and be sure you will have a clear day that is suitable for diving. Also be sure to check water conditions. You may have a great day on land, but the waters may not be so wonderful.

To avoid scuba diving dangerous things you should never go diving when you are not feeling well. This includes allergies or just a cold. Never scuba dive when you are on medication or have been drinking. These substances could impair your judgment, slow your motor skills and make you more likely to get into trouble. You also should always dive with a buddy. This will help keep you safe and ensure that if something happens that someone is there to help you.

When scuba diving, dangerous things may not be foremost in your mind. The only real way to avoid dangers is to be aware, be prepared and get proper training. Taking lessons and learning how to be safe can help you to avoid most dangers, but you will also learn that some dangers can’t be prevented. You have to learn how to minimize risks and how to handle a dangerous situation if one should occur.
