Spotted Moray Eel - a photo on Flickriver

Spotted Moray Eel

            This little fella had his head sticking out of the of "Shakem" a cargo ship that sunk off the west coast of Grenada.  Pallets of cement can still be seen on the deck!  Its an incredible wreck with some amazing photo opportunities, especially when you meet an eel as photogenic as this one.  He just sat there until I got the shot I wanted.... I love these little guys!
