Giant Clam

I used to watch reruns of Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges on TV. Every show had roughly the same plot, Mike Nelson (Bridges) would go about his business like every other undersea private investigator would. Then, without fail, he'd get his foot caught in a giant clam and get his air hose cut. This led me to belive two things about SCUBA, first that air hoses are made out of cheese, or some other flimsy material, and second that clams are carnivorous. Neither are true, but seeing a giant clams in person for the first time on this trip allowed me to see how beautiful they can be.
