This is a video of a congo fish which scared me to death
I was diving on a shipwreck, which is usually full of them.
I didnt see it, it was swimming right bellow the deck and then came out from the ambush.
It had more than 2 meters. I would say around 15-20 kg...
unique experience btw...

You see, this is why I only freedive on a rope away from all things slithery!
There's no amount of bleach that would get the smell out of my wetsuit after seeing that

I had no idea that they were in Croatia, or anywhere around that region for that matter. You're braver than me

Cheers,
Ben
 
We have a smaller species of Conger Eel in Hawaii too. We call it Tohe. Ive seen a couple of huge ones, close to that size but not quite as big. They are actually pretty cool, They dont have teeth like a typical eel, more like a ridge plate, though Im sure it could do some damage if provoked.

Alot of Ulua (giant trevelly) fisherman use this eel as bait. The meet is supposed to glow in the dark. And they smell horrrrrible.
