Russ Sanoian of Backscatter has published a clip of a hunting octopus during a night dive at Little Cayman onto Vimeo:

“Once I entered the lair of the beast I was cornered and my only way out was to shadow his every move and when the opportunity presented itself, scurry out the nearest crack…”

Whilst Russ was filming, the octopus would stop and come over to touch his hand and then go right back to hunting before returning again for some affection. Russ lists cephalapods as his favorite critter to see on a dive.
