While stationed in Okinawa I used to assist Mike Ray as his divemaster. Once we had these Canadian school teachers as dive students. One day one of them says to me:

"that's a cool looking dive knife you're wearing, would you use that to fight off Great White sharks?"

I replied:
"No, you think I'm stupid? I'd cut one of you and swim slowly away."
