We have garters near the dock, and you can catch them sunning themselves in the warm weather.

I had a water snake pop out from under the dock once while I was snorkeling around it -- startling to say the least.

I think the thing that spooked me most was the eel that lives in the between the two hulls of the Lady of the Lake wreck. I knew it was in there, somewhere, and was finning up and down the length of the wreck, poking my flashlight down into the gap and peeing in. I got to one section, pointed the light in, and there were these two big glowing eyes looking back at me. Although I was looking for it, I wasn't EXPECTING it...and neither was he/she, who then darted out.
