No, I did not handle the Octopus

Melissa's Garden (discovered by Max Ammer, not Seal-Asia or Kararu!) is named after Max's daughter. It's a great place to spend the day, 26 ft. max. depth and great wide angle or macro depending on the currents. I watched this Blue Ring Octopus for 45 min. and shot nearly a roll of film on her. She changed from pale blue to yellow to pink & white. They are very small, did you know? Also very deadly!
