Nocturnal Octopus
Feeling adventurous on a warm Maui evening I drove down to the local dive shop to pick up a tank for a night dive at one of my favorite scuba spots, 5 Graves. I was treated to incredible sights, many of which were first for me.
I will put up another update with most of the photos from this dive but I couldn't resist posting this nocturnal octopus picture first. This octo started off dark brown on the ceiling of a cave about thirty feet down. After I spooked him he fanned out and turned a starry white before eventually turning brown again and fading off into the dark.
Sometimes I wonder what percentage of people have donned a snorkel mask or scuba gear and experienced the underwater world. And of those people how many have done it at night...
