As if it
remembered the impertinent parrotfish from earlier in the
evening, the eel returned. Dan's graphic footage shows an
excellent example of a feeding behavior known as knotting.
To force large prey through its widely expandable jaws and
down its throat, morays quickly form two loops with their
tails around their bodies and rapidly pull their heads
through the tightened knot.

is a very active 66 years young, semi-retired diver who
has been dabbling with underwater photography for the past
15 years. When not diving, he enjoys piloting his own
plane, flying radio controlled model planes, and fishing
whenever the weather permits from his winter home near
Looe Key, in the Florida Keys. Dive travel has taken him
down the coast of Florida, throughout the Caribbean, to
Galapagos, Truk and Palau. He has visited Bonaire at least
a dozen times.
