Octopi that Come Out of Their Homes Find Friendly Divers with Cameras

one

Funny thing about diving, when the weather isn’t that great it seems that visibility underwater is! Clouds overhead, a slight chop on the surface, and 80+ visibility under the sea. Joining us today on the Sea Hound were Valerie (OW1/2), Daniel, Steven, Heidi, and Soon. A small group with big enthusiasm… and thirst for adventure. We began our day at Koko Craters where Valerie started out by acing her skills, then it was off to tour the area…

Koko turtle

And of course our favorite resident of Koko made an appearance under the ledge. Also many reef fish were out and about, including the super aggressive Sgt. Major who took a nip at my hand. Not a very nice fish!

Soon it was time to ascend and head off to our next site: Anglers Reef…

Eels, Puffers, Reef Fish, and after a little nudging…

octopus

A very large very cool Octopus bounced out of his hole and scurried across the reef…

All to soon it was time to surface and head back to the dock…

Thank you to all our divers for a safe and fun day of diving! ALOHA!
