SCUBA diving with an octopus in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles

Check out more about this encounter on my website: This is one of my best octopus encounters ever, so I decided to devote an entire video to it. There is a blue runner fish swimming around annoying the octopus. Then the octopus decided to make a move. It ballooned up to show the fish, and me, how big and beautiful it is. The fish kept swimming around it throughout the encounter. I went back and dove the same site the next day, and saw the same thing in the distance. When I got close, the octopus had retreated to a hole. The fist still kept swimming around it. This occurred at ’Alice in Wonderland’ dive site in Bonaire in about 15’ of water. Also notice the very health stag horn coral at this site. Captured with GoPro Hero 8 Black and GoPro Hero 4 Black. Thanks for watching.
