Found another cool video with a Octopus acting as a handyman, which annoys the local cuttlefish

A video of an octopus stealing a video-camera.
That must be an experience of a lifetime.

A few days ago I finally received my Drysuit, a Waterproof Cetus model.
Features (Borrowed from Waterproof website)
• Latex Wrist Seals – allows the flexibility to use any mfg’s dry-glove ring system.
• Warm Neck – Now we have improved our frequently imitated Warm Neck design to even better performance.
• A separate hood fits underneath the warm neck collar.
• Because of the shaping of the CETUS, there are no seams in the under arm area or in the crotch area, where any wrinkling will cause wearing.
• The boots are extended in the rear calf area, which facilitates an easy step in.
• Reinforced soft boots ensure ultimate strength and flexibility.
• The Boots are cut on an angle to minimize ankle and calf stress while finning.
• Chill Guard. Under the Dry Zip, it not only keeps body heat in, it also keeps your undergarments out of the zipper for trouble free operation.
• A Seat that Grips – Poly-urethane embossing in the back provides a no-slip grip and integrated abrasion protection.
• Knee Guards – PU-injection molded knee guards provide hard-core protection without compromising comfort and flexibility.
• Anatomical Sculpting – with 3 dimensionally sculpted arms and legs Cetus provides an anatomical fit designed for human movement.
• Each suit is tested by an overpressure check.
• SI-TECH valves, swiveling inlet valve and automatic outlet valve.
My termal protection is a 4th Element Xerotherm Arctic very nice and very warm.
Until now I have only been diving in a wetsuit, also a Waterproof model. But I have now been diving in a wetsuit since 2001, and was starting to get annoyed that the water here in Denmark was to cold in the winter. So I ordered the drysuit, custom made for my figure.
Today was the first time I dived in it, together with a diving friend Keld, we went to the harbour in Copenhagen to dive near a power plant the H.C. Ørsted Værket.
We jumped in at the mark, then we dived following the north wall, for about 15 minutes and turned around.
Dive Data:
| Logged dive number: | 538 |

There wasn’t anything interesting to see, but it was great to dive a Drysuit. Specially after the dive, where i just took it off and was dry, compared to squeeze out of my wetsuit, and being cold and wet.
