Nice picture. But in more than 2000 dives in the area I've never seen an octopus "flying" if not harassed by the guide, and on the contrary I've seen many photos like this. All these photographers apparently are very lucky to see this unnatural behaviour. If not harassed, the octopus crawls on the bottom.

In this article I will introduce you to the next two in hierarchical sequence. Seaslugs are indeed fascinating creatures and are a favorite for many photographers. They do not move about very quickly at all, which is a characteristic that makes them easy subjects to shoot. Often it is not the case of 'the one that got away', but the case of 'Oh no! I have run out of film again!'.
