3. This is why octopus gets eaten. They think your spear gun is a neat toy.
I am glad nobody got hurt.

12. They only live three years and they're delicious when served Greek style.
But I still feel guilty.

I'm leaning more and more toward not devouring their delicious, octopussy goodness.

16. I was expecting to see a giant glob of black ink shoot out, but I guess the octopus....
didn't see the diver as a threat.

The video was extra cool because it was crystal clear.
