Doesn't sound like a nice place to swim or go diving. Do they ever just attack? A rattlesnake will generally try to leave, but do strike out at times, are Lionfish and stonefish the same?

No, they are generally safe to be around, accidentally treading on one would be an issue though. Their spines are for defense not attack.
A lot like rattlesnakes then, generally safe until you step on them or get to close and trigger the defense.
