Did anyone see on TV a lady diver who had a special friendship with an eel?

I saw a program on TV about 6 months ago. It featured a lady diver (I think she was free diving), and she had a special relationship with an eel!

It would remember her and come out each time she dived down, even if she hadn't dived in the area for a couple of years. When it came out it swam and danced round her, it was a really wonderful moment to watch.

I keep telling people about it, but would love to know the name of the diver so that I can search for a clip to show people.

A shot in the dark I know!

Thanks.

It was Valerie Taylor, wife of Ron taylor. This Australian husband & wife team made numerous underwater/diving related films, which are often repeated on today's freeview channels.

If you want to see just that clip, google "valerie taylor befriends a spotted eel" and several Youtube versions appear on the first page of results.

Mike.
