Octopus Mother Take 1

This is footage from a couple of night SCUBA dives at Seacrest Cove 2, West Seattle, Washington. In this video we see a mother Pacific Giant Octopus, in her den with her egg clutch.  Octopus mothers dedicate their whole life to their young, and die right after they hatch. The octopus stick their eggs to the roof of a cave, and then protect the eggs for six months while the young develop. The mothers never leave their side, and protect them from predators and diseases.  Eventually, the mother assists the 50,000 or so young in their hatch, and then dies soon after.
In this video I also see harbor seals, a ratfish that goes head first into my GoPro, and more.  This is filmed on a GoPro Hero2 camera in an Eye of Mine housing, lighting from a Light and Motion Sola 1200.
