What a dumbass. I'm an avid diver and you don't mess with those guys.

I give that video one thumb up.

That's crazy - they don't look like amateurs. I've pet nurse sharks and grouper before but I don't mess with eels. NEVER with a bare hand like that. Those triggers can tear a hand up too.

ouch!

At least they weren't into nude scuba.

Was steve irwin a "dumbass" as well?

He took a lot of risks and knew it, but he did it in an educated way.

Yes they are. You see them all the time when diving and they can get HUGE, the one in the video was average or less size. I always stay away from them. They generally just stay in their hole waiting for something to eat.

In that video the eel was out in the open, they lured him out of his safety. He was probably pretty ticked or very hungry.

That graft was nasty, I would rather have no thumb.
