So friggin cool dude!!
Thanks for watching!!
Wonderful and beautiful, how exciting to see a lovely large octomang
An inkredible moment indeed 🐙❤️❤️❤️
So freakin awesome, Pat!
How do you decide what and what not to add as iNat observations? I assume just anything uncommon/rare that you come across?
Thanks B! The goal for me would eventually be to upload *all* the sightings from a dive, because we need that background “baseline” info just as much as the outlier stuff. I often have my exciting ones up first because that feels so gamified but I’m trying to get better at taking the time to upload all the stuff i can recognize or that could realistically be recognized later… You never know what’ll be the important to someone else!
Have you ever tried licking the egg yolk?
Once you start you can’t stop, it ain’t over easy
judging by the size of the eye of this octopus vs rest of its body it must have been a humongous one 😮 was it also that cold last time you saw one?
It was huge!! From the narcosis/excitement it was hard to gauge exactly how big but it reminded me of some of the bigger ones at the Aquarium, which were like 60lbs and over 12 feet across, but hard to know… Yes off Big Sur the water was like 47-48 that year with the upwelling, rough in my old wetsuit ahah
