Stick your hand in there while wiggling your fingers.

  1. Fingers aren't the only things in danger. Warning: Make sure you're wearing swim trunks, guys if you plan on lingering around there creatures.

  4. When you're in the sea and an eel bites your knee, that's a Moray.


    Akshully, many moons ago when grabbing lobster a Moray chased me for quite a distance. He came out of the reef at about 40' depth and nearly up to the surface. I was swimming backwards watching him getting closer. I think it was only the thrust from my fins that blasted him in the face which kept him from getting me.

    Quite often there are Morays lurking behind lobsters in the reef.

  5. You don't need to wiggle your fingers. THey bite "just Because".

  7. I was diving with a buddy in South Laguna one day among the kelp and I kept thinking my fins were getting caught in it. My buddy motioned me to go up, but I didn't want to as I was chasing fish. At any rate, he looked frantic again, I went up and he said a Moray was biting a fin.:) They are great to eat, but better shoot them through the head or they may go for you. At Dana Point at low tide you could take a short bamboo pole with heavy wire leader, shrimp on the hook and poke under large rocks for them. They live a long time out of water in a wet burlap sack. but die immediately in fresh water. Almost lost one in my kitchen sink when it started going down the drain, but it was the garbage disposal side fortunately. :)
