Had alway heard the deadlest were in the sea reluctant biters but when they do.....
also heard that of around 40 different types of sea snake that the anti venom from a bite of one was a bite from another - you just had to know which one

Hence the Coastal is more deadly. Has more attitude and has killed more people.

Aye but it depends what you are asking.

The coastal is only more of a threat to people because of it's proximity to people. That doesn't class it as more deadly, merely more of a threat.

There is probably no such thing as the most 'dangerous' snake, yes potency of venom remains the same but yeild, size, speed, temperment and location differ from one snake to another.
