<p>I’m so jealous of rebreather divers: no bubbles to scare the fish!
It’s like free diving… but longer.
Here’s <a href="tags/leo.html">Leo</a> relaxing with a <a href="tags/common_octopus.html">common octopus (<i>Octopus vulgaris</i>)</a>.</p>

(Probably not…)
This fellow let me come right in and muck around with lighting to get just the
right photo.
Thank you!</p>

<p>A sneaky <a href="tags/common_octopus.html">common octopus (<i>Octopus vulgaris</i>)</a> right at the entrance point of our dive.
This was directly under entering divers.
Where nobody would otherwise think to look!

We found this specimen while search for seahorses in the grass.
Sadly, no seahorses.
But octopuses are still a delight!</p>

<p>There are always some <a href="tags/common_octopus.html">common octopus (<i>Octopus vulgaris</i>)</a> sulking around the entrance to
this dive site. Maybe the same octopus? If you know how to spot them,
they’re always very easy to find.
I’ll leave that as an exercise to the reader…</p>
