Bonaire 3

On two occasions early in the trip I came across snaketail eels completely out of their burrows, foraging around the coral rubble in shallow water. Of course I didn't have a camera on either of those dives. On my next-to-last night dive I found this eel poking its head out, pulling it back, poking out again, but never coming all the way out. I shot as many pictures as I could and moved on.
