What amazing footage! Octopi are fascinating creatures and although I live in the Virgin Islands and am often in the water, I've never seen one. Thank you for bringing this glimpse to me!

Zig, you outdid yourself.
I passed this along worldwide. Very proud of you--you're getting damn good as a filmmaker. Great patience, great pacing.

Long live the cephalopods!

A hui hou,

A small thing, the plural of octopus is octopuses since it is word that came from greek.
