Finally...
I have been shooting underwater video for 4 years now. Until now, no good octopus footage, I had some, but it wasn't very colorful, was shot with my old rig, and is not widescreen.
This last Sunday at Catalina I got what I was waiting for.
2 Spot Octopus video, 48 seconds, WMV - 7mb
I was filming a Garibaldi up higher and looked down to see this Octopus crawling over the reef.
We saw at least 4 or 5 Octopus over the 3 dives we did, almost all of them at Ripper's Cove and Red Bluffs. We saw 6 or more Morays at these sites too. Vis was sucky (for Catalina) but we found so much stuff stuck inside the reef it didn't bother us too much. My Moray footage came out real cool too. A gallery of screen grabs from the raw video is here.
Enjoy the video...
