Port Hardy Scuba Diving - October 2023 - Mola Mola _ Octopus

This collection of footage was from a recent trip to Port Hardy to dive with UBDiving (https://ubdiving.com/port-hardy-dive-.... The diving conditions were fantastic over the 3 days with great visibility. Coming across Mola Mola and a crazy octopus encounter were the highlights of the weekend.

Dive sites included Gooseneck Grotto, Browning Wall, 7 Tree Island, Rock Of Life, and an unnamed site where we did a really cool current dive and drifted for over a mile!

The octopus footage of the octo crawling all over the diver is from Mazyar Jalayer (http://www.anglerfishlighting.ca/). He makes a ton of fantastic underwater camera gear including the Anglerfish Monitor that I use for my camera rig.
