    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I have had some very close encounters with Morays while diving. The big ones will follow you just like a dog because they think you will feed them. It can be very intimidating. Their incredibly poor vision leads them to mistake hand for food.

    Thank you for sharing. :)

    that is pretty impressive, I've seen people kinda handle them for a bit, but not like that.

    P.s. just for humor sake the ad-sense banner above this "Reply to Thread" page reads,

    "We do not want young men, we want YOU" and it is showing the older ladies in under-wear!

    Thought someone might want to block this add LOL

    green morays always seem more menacing to me for some reason.

    I think that he started playing with the eal since it was small and now the eal knows him. Anyway very risky!
