00:00I would have preferred to return without a single lobster rather than relive the seconds that followed.
00:04Because that day I discovered something I never imagined could happen.
00:07I had already managed to pull out several lobsters hidden among the rocks and, honestly, my day had already been a success.
00:13But just before going up, I saw an octopus tucked into a very small crevice.
00:16It was completely still, so I thought it would be an easy catch.
00:20Big mistake. As soon as I brought my hand near, a huge cloud of black ink covered the water.
00:24In a matter of seconds, I couldn't see anything at all.
00:26And before I understood what was happening, its tentacles began to wrap around my arm.
00:30One suction cup, then another, and another.
00:33It was holding on with incredible strength and slowly trying to climb up my arm.
00:36At that moment, I completely forgot about the lobsters.
00:39All I wanted was to get him to let go without hurting him, and above all, without panicking.
00:45But the more he tried to push it away, the tighter it held on.
00:47So I decided to go to the surface and even there he wouldn't let go of me.
00:51Its tentacles continued to slowly advance towards my shoulder.
00:54And for a few seconds, I really didn't know how I was going to get rid of it.
00:58And the craziest thing is that, just a few minutes before, I thought I had just found the easiest way to capture the
01:03day.
01:03After seeing something like that, would you still try to grab an octopus with your hands?
