This morning after the usual rock pool swim I decided to go out into the open waters. The swell wasn’t to big, sun was shining and the ocean was nice and calm. Water wasn’t really to deep about 3 meters or so and I didn’t have a buddy or a buoy so I didn’t want to risk going to far in on my own.<\/p>\n

Every morning I swim in the pools but I had never swam outside of the rock pool at all at shelly beach and was curious to see what was around. After diving down I saw a few small fish, lots of blue bottles (which thankfully didn’t sting me and lots of seaweed).<\/p>\n

It was somewhat dull because it was still close to shore until on the way back I saw an octopus. It was pretty big and as I started to take my camera out to take a picture it must have seen me and scurried back under a tiny rock. I decided to wait for a while but still the octopus didn’t want to come out.<\/p>\n

I swam away for a while to see if there where other interesting things to see and when I came back the octopus was out of its hiding place but poped straight back in as it saw me approach. Sucks … so all I managed to get was a picture of my friend the octopus hiding under the rock to scared to come out (I guess you can see one of its\u00a0tentacles\u00a0in the picture).<\/p>\n

Next time what I might do is put the camera right outside its hiding spot and keep the film rolling so I can get a nice video of the beautiful creature (I guess kinda like how they managed to get a picture of the gigantic squid 100’s of meters below the ocean surface<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
