Great, as usual. Just how close are you when you take a pic like that? I've always heard eels have bad eyesight and worry about one of them trying to bite at me if I get too close. Okay, I've said it, I'm a little scared! :shakehead

I was about two feet from this one and used my zoom then cropped the photo in PS to get even closer.
I too have concern about being attacked by one, especially this species, as it is the most aggressive one we have.

I'm not one to harass the wild life, but this moray was used to being fed and became a bit agitated when the Dive Master teased him with an empty food container. He was free swimming and nipping at fins. I used my camera housing to direct him away from me.
Gilligan - I love your photos and what you are able to do with your Oly 4000 setup. I was making a presentation on underwater photography at my local scuba club last week and a few of your pictures along with a picture of your gear was my example of excellent photos without spending a fortune on the newest gear. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your daily post.

Thank you David. I really appreciate your compliment.
Gilligan:
As you should! One of the instructors I work with is a tech diver. She and her dive buddies had one take offense and attack from about 30 feet away. They were at over
200 feet at the time. Fortunately, when they got quickly out of its immediate territory, it broke off the attack.

1. Yes, that lobster is from here. It is very small. Every photo in the Hawaii section is from here.
2. There are many critters here that I have not seen and/or photographed. For one, the Dragon Moray. A Whale Shark would also be nice
