Same. Went swimming with sharks in Moorea. One of the party was struggling in a quite strong current, started panicking and could have been in serious trouble until others stood up and she realised we were over a shell bank in about a metre of water.
Similarly, I helped an American couple out of a rip - in the lagoon in Raro of all places near The Rarotongan resort. They were flapping around trying to swim against it, my mates and just swum out and got them to float along with us. Which was actually fun so we went back out again and realised similar to your story that the water wasn't deep at all.
Before that I didn't even realise there were rips in lagoons.

@antipodean Did I mention that on my recent trip to Vietnam - 8 of the group were seppos - and good ol' Southern God-loving seppos at that.
On one of the first nights around the dinner table - one of them mentioned something about seeing monkeys or apes or some-such at a zoo, or in the wild, or... and mentioning their behaviour.
Anyway - one of them asked him "did anything about them give you reason to think we evolved from them? Guffaw" Guffaws all-round - and I actually thought "Shit - that was actually quite funny, seppos".
Then realised they weren't being ironic. Or laughing at human beings throwing shit at each other. They were actually laughing at the Theory of Evolution. Genuinely considered it risible.
Fucked up. -
@Victor-Meldrew many questions...was it dead, or a pet...I mean, seagulls usually dont just hang around that close...maybe the bird was part of a honey trap?

Asking for a friend?

I'm not sure what I find most wrong about that article. Obviously the act itself, then there is the statement that seagulls are a protected species (wtf - why?) and lastly that somehow the seagull knew he was watching porn at the time and that this would have caused the bird more suffering.

I actually googled to see is there was a seagull fetish out there somewhere and this came up..... Reminds me of some of the Magaluf crowd who holidayed in Cornwall post-pandemic
