Eel attack? Posted by jill on March 14, 2018, 11:21 pm Yep. Just to let you know. They don't always stay on the bottom. I was swimming in front of hotels, 8-10'depth, it came straight at me from about 10' away. I kicked & hit, it kept coming at me until I decided fleeing might be the only escape if this was a territorial thing. That worked. No bites but I did have a wet suit on. They are capable of biting. Don't know why it was so pissed at me (I was at least 10 ft away) but it was 6-6:30 pm which was hunting time for them. It's hard to believe that this wasn't just a nightmare Now I just hope those poisonous snakes don't get pissed... -------------------
