Octopus steals diver’s camera, makes directorial debut

New Zealander Victor Huang was free diving, recording the deep ocean blue with his brand new underwater camera, when all of a sudden an octopus showed up.  The shine of the camera caught its eye and it immediately went for it.  Its death grip becoming too strong for Huang to handle, the octopus snatched it away and forced Huang to chase after it.  Distracting it with a speargun, Huang eventually mangaged to get his camera back.  And the best part of the story?  The entire adventure was caught on camera!  Oh, and the fact that Huang was holding his breath the entire time.  There’s that, too.
