Cuttlefish @ Menjangan Island (Bali)

This is a Cuttlefish that I filmed at Coral Garden at Menjangan Island (Bali). It was very curious and I could swim around it for quite a long time. Its nice to see them camouflage.

Beautiful video. Looks like it let you get pretty close too! How far was your camera lens from it? (I'm new to videography)

Cuttlefish (and cephalopods in general) are awesome. The way they're able to alter their skin coloration, patterning, and texture in an instant is ridiculous.

Cuttlefish are the greatest!

Keigo70: Except from the scene from 2m41-2m50 I didn't use the zoom at all. So I could come as close as you see in the video. This cuttlefish was very relaxed and we could swim around it for a long time. He made it a truly nice dive
@ fishstix: absolutely!
