An eel attacking me. (Video)

I like the laughing.

From what I could tell from the very shaky video, that was no attack at all. Morays frequently will come out of their holes to check divers out. I've had this happen numerous times in lots of places. Unless you stick your hand out so that it looks like food, you're quite safe, especially if you keep your cam between yourself and the eel.
Keep your cool and hold that cam steady and you might get some footage worth seeing.

but by the way she was pushing away the other fishes, she looked very angry. I was very scared.
I will remember this advice, thank you.

It seems that this problem is only for you and Hemlon. I don't know why. If anyone can help us, please do.

The latest link worked for me.

Just upload it to YouTube. Seems that some people do not have Quicktime installed on their machine. On YouTube everyone can watch and the link will work.
BTW I totally agree with sharksdelight - to me this does not look like an attack at all. Just a curious moray - they have very poor eyesight - that wanted to take a look. No knife necessary, for God's sake! I am also quite sure that you were not too fast - the moray was just not interested enough: a human could not out-swim a serious moray eel.

If it didn't bit you or attempt to injure you it's not an attack. Maybe if it was a real attack it would have been some well deserved retribution for that trigger you killed. That's a great 1/2 sec video of an eel swimming.

Here is a short video of the mantas of Kona and a very curious eel that took a liking to my lovely bride!
