Found this on techEBlog (http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/geeky-octopus-attacks-diver-steals-camera), I thought the video was pretty funny.

*sigh* when will people understand that you should ask for permission from your models before filming them.....some people are just camera shy...:p:p


Thanks Mocows that brightened up my day :D

Very cool. I guess maybe the octopus was grabbing it because of the light?

I believe the Octopus just goes for shiny things (not unlike some of us) :) I laughed at how hard it held onto his spear gun.

That happened here where I live in Wellington, New Zealand. The guy said in the local paper that he carried that Octopus around on the speargun for 20 minutes before it let go.

So octupuses are the magpies of the sea - they go after shiny things.

I liked the comment from someone on youtube - Kelptopus!
