and mask. once the sucker fastens on, it s almost impossible to pry off. my mask was coming off. my regulator was coming out and the fight was on. i m at a great disadvantage when i m under water, because this is the octopus territory. that s where the octopus lives. i don t live there. the octopus doesn t need air to breathe. i do. the octopus has eight arms. i only have two. you re at the octopus mercy. doug s regulator is slipping out of his mouth. time is up. it s do or die. i am not going to let it go for anything. and i m trying with one hand to put my regulator back in my mouth, and i m trying with one hand to put my mask back on and with anything that s remaining i m trying to peel the arms of the octopus off of my mask. one by one, he peels off every vacuum-like sucker and each overpowering tentacle. it was all of doug s strength just to get one arm off, and he had three or four of them all over his head. i d peel one arm off and two more arms would stick to me. i

any of the animals i encounter. so i wanted the animal off me, but i certainly didn t want to hurt it at all. doug comes away from his undersea struggle with a renewed appreciation for one of the ocean s strangest creatures. that s probably the most he shocking moment i ve had diving in 37 years along this coast, for sure. it s shocking, but it s also interesting to see another side of an animal that you thought you knew really well, and you come to expect the unexpected when you re diving in these waters. coming up/ a 40-ton whale takes a swipe at a 200-pound man. i think that tail probably weighed a few tons, and it s solid bone and barnacles, and it came at him fast and hard. a nurse shark doesn t like to kiss on the first date. when caught on camera: into the deep continues.
