They are unbelievably strong- those arms are pure muscle and designed to be just as strong in every direction, and covered in suckers that can add to grip.

Having eight of those gives them immense strength and control. I read an article recently about a 2oz octopus that could pick up and move 2lb rocks

You can see his mouth and jaw are being PULLED by that poor thing.

Yeah, that octopus knows to go at the mouth and nose. Not sympathetic towards the menacer but wow that makes me squirm to see. Yikes!

I clenched up when it looked like the octopus was about to rip his tongue out of his mouth

He deserved that and more.

No, he did not deserve “more”.

He did not deserve to die at sea, on camera, for your pleasure, because he irritated an octopus.

You need mental help if you genuinely think he deserved “more”.

Who said anything about him dying?

And seeing as he's got a massive pile of catch, it's pretty obvious he's not irritating the octopus, he's hunting it.

You. “He deserved that and more”, what’s “more” in this situation, you disingenuous human?

Enough fear and pain to definitely not pull this shit again.

I'm not responsible for your dumbass assumptions

Are you an octopus offended on behalf of this dumb guy killing intelligent life for the internet views?

Because if so, mind blown. 🤯

u/Lazystubborn 26d ago

He probably is a bunch of octopi in a trenchcoat.

Nah, they would be on the octopus on the videos side. Who would be dumb enough to be cheering for the diver here?

The octopus whose wife cheated on him with the octopus in the video.

u/LiarTruck 25d ago

Isn't the guy hunting?

These comments are hilariously stupid.

Oh? Feel free to elaborate

Y'all are blood thirsty 😂 y'all just want to see the man die. Was he being a dick to a very intelligent sea creature? Yes absolutely, but he doesn't deserve to die for your satisfaction.

u/Bossdonglongs 26d ago

Who said anything about him dying? Enough pain and fear to never even think about doing that again would be a solid base line

If he had regular diving gear, they pull the regulator right outta your mouth

u/kenjinyc 26d ago

Man that is the biggest nope ever. A kind of dopey friend of mine went diving and was doing dumb things near a wreck, a grouper sucked his mask off. I’ll just wade up to my knees, thanks!

u/Friendly-Maybe-9272 26d ago

My diving instructor had a friend. Thought it would bee a good idea to mess with an eel. Took his diving knife (they're pretty thick) and stuck it in the hole, that eel came out alright, bit that thing in half....don't mess with eels was his lesson of the day

In the water the suckers have insane levels of grip.
