DIVER CAPTURES RARE UNDERWATER FOOD CHAIN DRAMA IN MALDIVES<br />WITH VID<br />By Mike Jones<br />Watch as a dive instructor witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime underwater encounter while guiding a group in the Maldives, a split-second chain of predation involving two moray eels, a grouper, and a grey reef shark.<br />The video, filmed by 44-year-old Cruise Director and Diving Instructor Katrin Schweigler from Germany, was captured at the dive site Kuda Rah Thila in the South Ari Atoll, Maldives.<br />Katrin initially began filming after spotting a giant black moray eel moving inside a hole, assuming it was hunting a small fish.<br />As the eel emerged, Katrin realized a fimbriated moray was wrapped tightly around the giant moray’s head, clearly attempting to choke it.<br />Within seconds, a grouper appeared, attempting to steal the prey, before a grey reef shark suddenly entered the frame and claimed it entirely.<br />The entire sequence happened so fast that Katrin said she barely had time to react, instinctively continuing to film as the scene unfolded with overwhelming speed and force.<br />After the shark disappeared, Katrin and her dive group screamed underwater in disbelief, later realizing they had just witnessed something extraordinarily rare.<br />With more than 4,000 dives logged, Katrin shared that she had never experienced anything remotely similar.<br />ENDS
