Red Sea
Octopus
With sharks, one of my favourite creatures in the sea. I have played hide and seeks with an octopus before and it was FUN. This one was by the mooring line, in Marsa Shagra bay and was quite relaxed despite the 3 divers looking at it. It changed texture and colour several times, still keeping an eye on us. I managed a whole series of pictures.
