One time, back in the 1970s, I was at a beach in Amagansett, Long Island, New York, and the lifeguards chased everyone from the water because they saw a triangular fin in the water. It turned out to be an ocean sunfish.

OK, here's one. I apologize for the poor quality - it's a vidcap from something I took about 8-10 years ago. Hopefully you all can make it out.

Some variety of Flying Gurnard.... without ocean it was in, difficult to say, but I wager Caribbean... Indo-Pacific ones I have seen are red not blue

Correct - video was shot in the Atlantic off Palm Beach. We had several Gurnard sightings that weekend - more than any other trip that I can remember to the area. Unfortunately I was not able to get decent footage of any with wings fully spread.Some variety of Flying Gurnard.... without ocean it was in, difficult to say, but I wager Caribbean...

Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.
