I'd better chime in now before this gets closed.In order to become a certified SCUBA diver one has to go through hours of instruction and training and then is required to take tests, so after going through all of that one would think that there would be some level of respect for the living creatures and the environment beneath the ocean.I heard that the flesh of pufferfish is highly toxic and can be very dangerous to humans if not prepared properly.He should have eaten the puffer after he was finished molesting it.
I sure hope that everyone saying this is cruel doesnt go fishing?!?! Im pretty sure being hooked in the mouth, then reeled iin pulled out of water, flopping around and then being thrown back in is a little more stressful. How about that?

PS: Im talking about catch and release, not catch to eat just to clear things up.
The way this thread runs, there is no way it'll die peacefully so I'm doing this in favor of the thread before people start slamming each other around. Thanks for the input, folks.
