🔥 A true survivor: The biggest, most battle-scarred Giant Pacific Octopus I've ever encountered.
**We were 43 minutes into our dive and on our way back to shore when I saw a large arm with suckers swing out and over the kelp in the murky water.**
We were fortunate enough to spend about 30 minutes with it as it calmly made its way along the reef.
This octopus is a true survivor. I think it only had 1 or 2 complete arms as most had been bitten off into stumps. It had scars all over its body, missing suckers, and clear injuries to its arms. Likely due to encounters with our local sea lions which are pretty hard on the octopus.
This octopus has seen some things, that is for sure. Such an amazing encounter.
