Field Notes

Description:

An octopus playing hide and seek with us. Crevice was big enough for it to move about. Wouldn't come out for a full shot...
Spotted at the Basilica dive spot in Dive and Trek. Dawn dive.

Oh he was a tease Marta. He would move from one spot to the other just as we were photographing him (or her). Could not have an exact ID though pretty much looks like my other Octopus spotting which was in its full glory... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7207308 :-)
