AM, I would no more put my fingers in a crack in the ocean rock than I would offer my hand to a hunting moray eel (and is what you would likely do "noodling" for octopus). First (well not quite the first) rule of diving is never put your hands into anything. There are, of course, other creatures that would find your fingers tempting (even crabs would not likely resist wiggling fingers and many are NOT the size of a mithrax) but the worst damage (because of the locking teeth on most types of morays) is from a critter that likes exactly the same abode as an octopus. Nope, I will leave both fresh and saltwater noodling:
