Such a cool interaction!
I was diving in Limasol in Cyprus about 7 years ago. I came to rest on the floor about 20 meters down and held onto a rock, while I tried to adjust my flipper.
From out of nowhere an octopus hand rapped over my hand very inquisitively as it sat on the rock next to me. I hadn't seen it since it was camouflaged but it revealed its-self and we both locked eyes for what felt like a minute, but was probably seconds. Then calmly, it crawled into the rocks.
I was in shock, my dive partner hadn't seen what had happened. But I felt like we both acknowledged eachother for a moment of respect, then never to be seen again.
Truly beautiful, incredible creatures.
