Halloween Scuba Dive Video with Pacific Giant Octopus

Spooky dive video I filmed with my my new GoPro Hero 2 camera.  I had an awesome scuba dive, where we watched a large giant Pacific octopus forage and crawl along the bottom for what seemed a very long time.  The octopus even walked high on two tentatles across the seafloor.  Near the end of the encounter he suddenly had a few of his tentacles wrapped on both of my arms.  I quickly peeled it off and swam away before he got any more attached!  This footage was from a 50 minute dive, but the majority of the video was unusable, too dark or blown out.  The GoPro is lots of fun, but certainly has it's limitations.  I am going to make a series of adjustments to the camera, and will share blogs about my experience here.  Anyway enjoy the spooky dive video, I had a bit of fun with it in the spirit of Halloween...
