Don't help, just film

the black ink should have given the diver a hint to leave it alone

That's what you get for messing with inky boi

That's not an octopus, your mind can't comprehend what's going on so it just sees an octopus strangling him.

I wouldn't trust that diver anymore btw. He's had contact too long. His mind isn't his own.

Damn nature, you scary!

Octopus sashimi is going to bring on some weird flashbacks for the rest of this diver's life. Also, now they can't get aroused unless they're being choked out and sprayed with ink.

Bullshit. An Octopus that size isn't going to strangle anybody, and can't really do much suction on a wetsuit, which has a porous fabric surface.

Source: I spear fish, and have bagged 100's of octopuses. The only danger from one that size is a bite, as they have a "parrot" beak, and very minor damage at most.

I don't fish them any more, BTW. I had one of those experiences of having one playing with me, and they suddenly moved into the same territory as dogs, cats, horses, etc. in my mind.

Get the shot!

Just keep filming
