What a great phrase - and not a bad name for a rock band....

Yes it was Cedar Pass, and I saw it after it came out. Soyong and I were not
in the swim-through (they are generally not compatible with huge camera
systems), and I was taking pictures of some critter on the reef outside.
Soyong actually hit me hard upside the head (having been unable to get my
atttention via usual means) and I turned around just as the bugger was maybe
2 or 3 meters from me. I nearly pissed in my wetsuit, but it swam right past
and started looking for holes in the reef to disappear into. It stayed long
enough for me to get a few shots off, though.

If, as I suspect, Andy and I saw the same moray that day, it will live
forever at http://www.geocities.com/bjornvangjensen/images/eel11.jpg
