We had a nice snorkel today at Caracasbaii. The wreck that is so close to the shore usually provides some fun stuff to see, but today was all about the side show. If you head to the right, toward the new building sites, there is a lot of very nice coral, in quite shallow waters. Today we saw so many eels, it was unreal. But the big show stopper today was an octopus. He was in about three feet of water, so we got to spend quite a bit of time with him.

He was one of the bigger octopus that we have seen, and he was totally unconcerned with us. Usually when you get close to an octopus they try to make themselves look big, and they go all white. This guy, not so much. I could get within two inches of him, and no reaction.

I’ve added a little movie of him, just to show you how unconcerned he seemed. We followed him for quite a while, and he never did hide or get all worried at all. The only time he reacted with the white coloration, was when a damsel fish started pecking at him. Fun day of snorkeling, for sure!
