A DIVER is "extremely lucky to be alive" after a giant conger eel bit a huge chunk out of his face.
Jimmy Griffin (48), an experienced deep sea diver for over 20 years, got into difficulties as he made his way back from an expedition in Killary Fjord, Connemara, Co Galway.
"Suddenly I got hit with what felt like a really strong punch in the face," Mr Griffin told the Herald. "I felt like a rag doll. It gripped onto my face and threw me about violently. It was biting, pulling and twisting on my face," he said.
