Good video and I have no pitty for the diver at all, what a ****. Feeding reef animals is a big no-no not just for reasons like this, but also because it can upset the food chain!

1st error, feeding the fish.

2nd error, feeding the fish with flesh coloured object.

3rd error, same as 1st error, it's such a stupid thing to do.

4th error, not using a mesh/chainmale glove or feeding stick.

Serves him right, what a doofus that bloke was. :laugh:

He kind of deserved it teasing the eel like that. It was still disgusting though.

his Thai tattoo says 'in my heart forever'.

Well, I'm sure he won't forget that in a hurry!

Just shows you learn something new every day. I always thought moray eels stayed in holes and did not venture out! Wish i was forty or so years younger, would love to have had a go at scuba diving:laugh: , but not the feeding bit!!!!!

I've seen them going from hole to hole a couple of times. They look so cool swimming. Like dragons! :wub:

That sort of behaviour by divers makes me anoyed. Not all of us are stupid enough to play with the wildlife (well maybe with the exception of clown fish as I just cant resist playing with them. They get so arsey its very funny - can be far scarier than a giant moray lol).

Sadly in attempt to make extra tips etc you do occassionally see dive guides interferring with the wildlife. As I dive with a big camera I swear some of them see pound signs when they meet me. On a recent trip a guide came up to me holding a puffer fish that hed scared into puffing up. I put down my camera in disgust though & made my feelings quite clear.

I find it much more interesting to just observe the wildlife behaving in a natural way & its much more fufilling to get a good natural shot rather than having someone manipulate the creature for you.

Ive been lucky enough to see them free swimming a few times. Im always wary though of them when theyre out of their holes as they only come out to hunt.

I feel extactley the same mate.

We had a dive guide once, that always waved his finger in front of morays mouths. I was thinking what an idiot.

The only physical interaction ive had,is when these 2 cleaner wrasse decided to go in my ears on a dive in the red sea. Done my head in as it goes. They tried to get inside my mates girlfriends mouth! :laugh:

I've been on the receiving end of a titan triggers charge. That was fun, but luckily I didn't lose my finger. It wasn't diver initiated though, we were just unlucky to start our dive onto of his territory.
