I think that comes from the fact that most backpack divers are hardcore bug hunters who jam their hands up into holes after bugs. All the times I have been bit was becasue I had my hand in a hole. Most times I never saw the eel, I only felt it clamp down on my finger, thumb, or hand. It's all part of the challange of bug hunting.
