A Guy's (& his girls') WORST NIGHTMARE!

I’m more concerned with the creatures from across the 8th dimension.

I think you need to write your name while pissing.

The little buggers are notoriously poor spellers, you know; and they can't anticipate where your next move is going, in order to swim in.

I don't know what you girls will have to do...

I just looked at the photos i-dive posted and could not believe the last photo she posted. It looks to be a photo of a Dr. holding the removed thing from someone. In the background there is a huge ball sack just there. That was not something I was expecting to see.

By the way, wouldn't these things swim into a womans "gill hole"?

Hey Dive Chick did you happen to notice Dr. "Johnson's" depiction of 6"...... that's why we men use a tape rule to measure ;-}

I'm not sure about a drysuit. I'm taking no chances I've ordered a metal cricket box.

Ok, when I first heard of this, my reaction was this has to be an urban legend.


Below are photos of a candiru and a photo of one being surgically removed by A. Samad from a male's urethra.

I dive chick,

Do you look for this stuff on purpose? It is truly painful to even contemplate!

Judge for yourself.

Candiru (Vandellia cirrhosa) are parasitic catfishes that feed on blood from the gill cavities of larger fishes. They are known to enter the urethra of humans urinating in water, possibly mistaking exiting urine for gill exhaust

I can't see them more than a second. Specially the third one.
Thanks.
