UPY 2018 British Waters Compact - Third
'Curled Octopus'
James Lynott
This photo was taken during a fantastic day diving at St. Abbs. The dive had started at the large gully at West Hurkers and we were making our way towards the Anemone Gullies when I spotted this octopus nestled amongst the soft corals which cover the boulders and bedrock here. I only had time to quickly compose and capture this single image before it shot off, passing underneath my buddy and disappearing into the distance. Most of my diving is in Scottish waters and I had never seen an octopus here before so spotting this one and being able to capture this single shot made it a really memorable dive.
Judge's comment: What a fantastic scene with an octopus sheltering in colourful deadman’s fingers. Very well lit by James.
