Johan, Marnes and Indra shoot their first Hairy Octopus

We’ve been having fantastic diving recently, and we have been having some fun with the guys taking pictures and also annoying out yearly repeat guest, Mood.
Mood has been to Lembeh every year for the last 5 years and still does not have the hairy octopus, he always missed it. We see it when he has a bad ear, when he skips a dive, or they find it on the same dive he is on but he has gone off looking for something else and is too far to call over.

The other day the boys took me to try to find the Hairy Octopus for the first time, and they found one on each of the first 2 dives – they haven’t found one for a while so there was quite a lot of excitement, and obviously a lot of bravado beforehand, and even more afterwards.

I was pretty amazed by this creature, so i thought it only fair that I let them click off a few shots whilst we were waiting for the guides to find Mood.

Here are their shots!
