My then gf (now wife) had just gotten her C card so we went down the the Keys for a week of easy diving. I'm an avid UW photographer and was lining up a great shot of a very large green moray. All of a sudden it shot straight out at me. I about swallowed my regulator as it swam right past me, brushing me with it's body on the way. When we got back to the boat, the gf asked me if I got a good picture. Umm, NO, I was busy try to not get eaten by the eel! That's when she told me that she had come up behind it and "nudged" it with her fin so I could get a closer picture. I thnaked her for the "help" and asked her to NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!
