This is purely for fun... So much diving gear, especially that branded to be technical diving gear, is dark or black. I now read the word sometimes as technicool (similar to the tactical --> tacticool boom over the past two decades with military gear). Why not bring some color to your next reef...

A not very serious video about the mimic octopus (which of course is real) and its ability to mimic a squirrel. Also: Is "Sandy Cheeks" from Sponge Bob really a mimic octopus? I really think that my dive buddy Matt is the John Belushi of the coral reef. Enjoy!
