🇬🇧 I was lucky enough to go diving with Natalia, who lives in Australia and shares my passion for octopuses.
Of course, we went looking for octopuses, and we found plenty of them.
I’ll let the footage speak for itself.🐙✨️ taken in Anse Mejean by @blue_connections_

It might be fine, more than enough, indeed so much, to live a plain life. My first time diving Rye Pier at Mornington Peninsula and first encounter with the magnificent pale octopus. Thank you @scubadoctorau and Rose for the skilful guidance. #ryepier #ryepierdive #paleoctopus #scubadiver #octopus taken in Rye, Victoria by @blue_connections_

Can we learn to peacefully co-exist?
I loved watching this wise ancient creature (Giant Cuttlefish) glide spaceship-like through water, as the swimmers and snorkelers occupied the surface. (with beloved Kate and Liam at CTB).

• HAPPY WORLD OCTOPUS DAY • 🐙 • today is to celebrate you, octopuses. Each and every one of you. All over the world. Your beauty, your strangeness, your wits, your sensitivity, your curiosity, your vulnerability and strength. Your decisions, moods, hesitations, dreams, learnings, characters. 🐙 A few years ago “Octavia” unfurled her arm to touch my hand. I read it as a plea ~ for peace, between her species and mine. That day I pledged to protect her, and all of you, forever. May I stay worthy of her trust. 🤿 Keep scrolling across for my trusty land-locked plush octopus companions. #worldoctopus #worldoctopusday #happyworldoctopusday #plushoctopus #octopustetricus by @blue_connections_

Fish don’t speak, don’t blink and aren’t cuddly; hence they are often misunderstood. Yet they are incredible! An individual fish’s umwelt—the unique, subjective perceptual world —is an aquatic reality shaped by sensory systems foreign to human experience. Foreign, not inferior. 🎥📍various waters of Australia & Fiji. A non-fish aquatic creature might have snuck into the frame too 😉- did you notice? #fish #amazingfish #umwelt #freediving #bluegroper by @blue_connections_

• RESTING • no filter • this gorgeous fiddle ray softly rested on the kelp leaves as if basking in the sun. Cabbage Tree Bay. #fiddlerray #banjoshark #cabbagetreebay #cabbagetreebayaquaticreserve #freediving by @blue_connections_

The magic and privilege of diving surrounded by hundreds of yellowfins. Thank you dearest Kate, Sarah @harasyeffor and Liam for sharing this moment with me. Cabbage Tree Bay, 20/06/2026. #freediving #cabbagetreebay #cabbagetreebayaquaticreserve by @blue_connections_

WHAT NOT TO DO UNDERWATER: Be an incredible klutz and knock over his door decoration. No wonder he said, no more paparazzi! Clovelly #octopustetricus #gloomyoctopus #octopus #octopuslover #sydneycommonoctopus by @blue_connections_
