Our uni is local. It's one of my favourites. Might be because a
number of years ago, when I was diving locally, I had an incident
involving sea urchin.
I had finished my dive, and was standing on the cabin roof of the
boat while some others were completing their dives. One of the divers
had been gathering sea urchin (the good tasting kind) and had put a
gunny sack of them onto the roof. The roof was painted and wet, and I
suddenly slipped. I had a choice of stepping on the bag of sea
urchins, or diving into the water with my camera. Naturally, I chose
to step on the sea urchins. About a hundred spines were driven into
my foot. I spent and hour on the boat pulling out spines, and my wife
spent another 2 or more hours after I got home, and only about 20
broken off pieces were left in my foot to get infected.
On the whole, I've since had exquisite revenge on the sea urchin
race, and my foot healed nicely.
