OIC--I don't even know what year it is anymore.

I accidentally took a photo of (I'm supposing) this eel a couple of years ago. I was doing my safety stop and there were a group of divers below me. I just snapped a picture of them and when I got home and downloaded my photos to my computer, I noticed that several of the divers were also taking photos of something. When I scrolled over in the direction they were pointing, viola, there he was.

Yes it is. Judging from the size of the divers, I'd estimate it is somewhere from 5 to 6 feet long. And actually, it was closer to 3 years (May, '15) when I took that photo so I figure it's even bigger now.

Still my favorite moray pic of all time. I was there with photog Joe Chu

Last year as we were finishing up our dive at Cedral Pass, my husband found this beauty. I cannot deny my eel crush. Seems I could not upload video from I Pad, so I uploaded it on my husband's Youtube account.

Saw this one at Columbia Shallows several years ago.

This is one of my wife's first times at video and she got this shot of an eel attacking a dive master for the lion fish that he had on a spear. The Moray chased him to the surface. Turn up your speakers to hear my wife's excitement. The good part starts at about a minute.

My favorite encounter with a Moray was watching about 8 large groupers antagonizing one (Moray) to get out and help them hunt for fish. The groupers were darting about and swimming up to the Moray and staring at him until he left his hole and started hunting. The groupers were like kids jumping around waiting for mom and dad to wake up on Christmas morning.
