Oi mate, ya gotta watch where you stick your hands, 'specially on nice brown rocks on a hot sunny day.
Glad you are okay though.
I have a similar SCUBA diving story. Was diving on a sea mount, swimming along shining my light in the crevases, when I noticed I was looking at a really smooth rock. Then I realized the "rock" had an eye and was looking back at me! It turned out to be a snoozing nurse shark! ( These are bottom feeders, not known to attack anything, so not a threat at all, and probably more scared of me than me of it ). By the time my heart slowed down, I got my dive buddy who swam up and started taking pictures with a strobe. The shark didn't like this too much, and swam further back into the crevase. At that point, I had enough, so we moved on.
Still give me a jolt, thinking about it.
