Eel hunting prey - night dive
I was on a night dive with Doug and Peg down in Cozumel last week when a spotted eel decided to get some dinner.  Right place, right time, roll camera...

I love how they tie themselves in knots to manipulate captured prey so they can swallow it!
Some people are like Slinkeys - not much good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs!

Very cool!  How big was the eel?  Based on the Sea Cucumber, I'm thinking 3-4ft but there aren't any good references without knowing how big the urchins were, etc.  Unreal how big the fish seemed compared to the eel and yet through the eel's gyrations and mongo mouth, he was able to get it down.  Wow.

The eel wasn't real big....maybe 3ft but he sure gave us a great show.

Here's something I filmed in the USVI this winter, totally different scene, a fish giving a massage to a spotted moray.
