awake?
We returned to the lockers after our morning dives, which would have been our last shore dives outside of the house reef. We were intending on doing a couple more dives at Calabas, but we weren't expecting to see anymore different creatures.
We've heard about a resident octopus at the dock, but we've never seen it before. When we walked to our lockers, 2 divers were returning with stories about the octopus being in a pipe near the dock. So Luis and I jumped right back in.
Unfortunately, the octopus was wedged inside a pipe, behind a couple of dead corals surrounded by fish parts and broken shells. It looks like it has been bothered by many divers and is not coming out at least for now. I'm ashamed to admit that I think I woke it up with the flash on my camera. Oops!
