Wow, what an amazing moment! This octopus wrapped its arms around the diver and placed its tentacles on her mouth, which the diver described as a hug and a kiss. Marine life never ceases to amaze us!
People in the comments remarked on how awesome this is. @lil_ms_mellybean said, "I love this. What a great and wonderful experience. Slightly jealous," and @rocco06260 commented, "What a fabulous creature. So unique!" We loved getting this up-close and rare look at this ocean predator.
Others cracked a few jokes about the unusual moment. @kathylovestolearn commented, "This was her former lover in her last life," and @stuartgdspark said, "Ok, I've seen everything. Time to go to the moon." This was definitely a rare occurrence that has us crossing off an item on our bucket list!
We are amazed at how calm this diver was during the encounter and relieved that the octopus had pure intentions. We know we wouldn't have been able to fight off the mollusk if it had been angling for a snack!
