I was in Grand Cayman a few days ago doing a typical tourist snorkel thingy, and it didn't exactly end up being all that typical. Guides told us about a Moray eel, but that he wouldn't bother us during the day. We all saw him in his hole, and he didn't bother anyone. But, later on I saw him near the boat and popped the Canon power shot into video mode and caught some footage of the eel trying to take a hunk out of a guy's leg. The dude kicked the thing as hard as he could when it came near him, and that probably only pissed it off more (but what's a fella to think when a 5 foot eel is about to swim up near some important body parts!).:eek: Download here.

Video ends when I turn into Mark Spitz.:biggrin:
 
sweet! I just saw Open Water too :biggrin:
 
Cool! ..
Saw one of those mean looking eels during a night dive at Flower Gardens (offshore Gulf of Mexico) .. Luckily it just stayed in its hole the whole time and didn't try to bite anyone. It would've been a very quick ascend from 100ft should that happen!! :-) ..

Cheers .. Gus
