[Coral-List] Octopus punches fishes

[Eduardo Sampaio]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!
Although biased because I work with them, I have to agree that they are one
of the most engaging creatures to dive with.
First time I saw one punch a fish, I almost chocked on my reg while
laughing!

Best wishes, and happy holidays,
Eduardo
