A very friendly giant Pacific octopus gave a group of divers in Campbell River a thrill of a lifetime recently.
The group, lead by Andrea Humpreys, spent 40 minutes with the approximately 10-foot, tentacle-tip-to-tentacle-tip octopus which was not shy at all.
“Yeah, I was out with four dive buddies. One of them was visiting here from across the country and has never seen an octopus,” Humphreys said.
