The cinematic moment was captured on camera, when the octopus assumed the role of director.
“It came out and fully took over my camera,” said John Roney, an underwater videographer and documentary film editor.
“It gave us this nice inside view of all of its suckers under its arms, and it was even kind enough to turn it off after three minutes of filming.”
The polite mollusc captivated Roney and videographer Chris Mullen during a diving session Monday in Nanoose Bay.
“We struck gold because we had the best octopus encounter you could hope for” Mullen said.
Roney added how the octopus controlled the encounter as the two divers gave it space to explore.
