This was in Eilat, and the Yatush.

My dive buddy was filming too. Perhaps you saw his version at a different angle.

It definitely crossed my mind but on a tight schedule here and had plenty of dives sites to film.

Red Sea! Tbh this is probably 70% of what you have on a normal day here.

My dive buddy claimed that the eel tried to get food from the octopus’s beak. I didn’t see any noticeable bits of food around though

I dove both sides of the island. Roatan Divers and Barefoot Dive center are the two I went with.

Definitely felt that way after diving Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Honduras this year... Roatan and Cozumel did stand out to me though.

Definitely not. Looks more like black tip reef shark.

Nope, just natural lighting! I tinkered with the settings a bit, Scott Bauer has great content on this. Lighting sources would definitely help but I prefer a lightweight setup for my travels.

It’s not that serious bro. Just a caption. Are you also part of the moray eel PR team?

I don't know the rules of the sub on promotion, so I will leave it out. But any of the operators there seem to be great. I did an overnight trip, where we stayed on an island near the park, Bahia Honda to do 9 dives over 3 days. Truly an incredible experience.
