One thing I can rely on when I’m snorkeling is that when I’m looking down into the water there’s a very good chance something will be looking up at me. Most creatures in the water are constantly scanning for predators, or prey.
In this case, this whitemouth moray eel was in a typical position, wedged into a crack, and keeping a watchful eye on my movements.

As much as I wouldn’t want any contact with this guy, it is a great shot.

Thanks. It was just a little eel, but I’ve seen some big ones I wouldn’t want to tangle with.

Actually, this one was just a little guy, maybe a foot or two long. I see eels quite often and, while they can bite, they’re not generally aggressive, so nothing to worry about unless I do something stupid.
