Pikachu to the BRO, Gobble Gobble

The afternoon dive was really pretty boring for like the first half.  Then as Nando was showing me a Thecacera sp. 8 (they like to call it the Pikachu), he saw a little squid.  I thought it was cute, but he corralled it aside and showed it to Catherine.  Once I was done shooting the nudis, I wandered over to it and took a few shots not thinking anything of it.  Then it started changing colors and forming spots… or maybe rings. Holy crap and the rings were blue.  No wonder Nando was excited.  This was a BLUE RING OCTOPUS!!!  (B.R.O.)  Super cool.  I took a little video of it too.

Happy Thanksgiving.  A few of us Americans exchanged a little gobble gobble but alas, we had orange chicken for dinner.  Not a turkey leg to be found.

No night dive tonight.  I couldn’t convince anyone to go and they won’t go unless there are at least two divers.  That’s OK, it was nice to just get some rest.
