I see something like this and then reflect on the hysterical writeup about accidents. This wacko desterved to be written up as "...weekend diver loses two fingers to aggressive eel."

Divemaster, try assclown. Not smart.

If you ever go, let me know how it was.

Huh O_o. I said "replies" not reptiles. I was referring to his comment.

@ballennick33 Not at all since Eel are known to be friendly animals..They usually pop out themselves out of curiosity & you can pet them like a dog..This one was probably just in a bad mood or insecure towards them..

molokini is so beautiful. after diving there it solidified my choice to move to maui.

[ballennick33]

u have to have balls to do that.

i hv a friend lost 2 fingers doing that stupid shit! the guy in vid is dumb-lucky to leave with all fingers attched to his hand .. better luck next time mr. EEL ;)

[pablowall]

he clearly didnt see the video of a guy getting his thumb bitten off by a green moray, or he wouldent do that lol

[jjdiver]

Lucky it was only a small bite, since the DM was harassing the eel.

[guthaninfested]

i hold my eel.

Maybe they're used to humans, is there a lot of diving in your area?
