Ocean Cove today

Dove Ocean Cove today. Due to a screw up on my part I ended up missing my buddy so just went solo within the cove. Great vis but kind of surgy. Not a lot of kelp. I shot a couple Greenlings. I also saw the biggest octopus I've ever seen. I thought about shooting him but wasn't even sure if you can. He let me touch him and didn't take off. His head looked bigger than mine. Was pretty amazing. Didn't see many live abs in the cove. Sadly one of the three scuba divers that went in right after me may have drowned. They were working on 'her' I think for quite a while, it didn't look good.

Thanks for the report.

You made a good decision not to shoot the octopus; they can only be taken by hand or hook and line. The big ones are very powerful animals.

I am afraid you'r right about the diver.
I dove at Still water and the vis was exceptional. I could see the bottom to 20'.Plenty of Abs beyond 15-20'

To ad about the diver.  Best wishes to the family. Did you see the octopus holed up or out in the open

The octopus was just out in the open. Kind of a pale orange color. I almost missed him but the texture caught my eye, and then I saw his eye! He was indeed a Pacific Giant Octopus. Looked at the google images, he was that size in relation to a diver in the images there. Pretty cool. I tried to put my fingers around the base of one of his arms and it was bigger than that. He never moved or responded. I eventually decided to stop messing with him!

I grabbed an octopuss last year and it grabbed me back! .... Never again!...Thanks for the picless report!
