Did "Hogzilla" feature video? Just curious, not familiar with that event.
One advantage to having Octopi walk on two legs is that your calamari might be better....
Most sea creatures won't eat you. I'm a scuba diver (you can imagine the trouble it was to find a dealer that carries scuba suits to fit a stoat) and most undersea creatures are merely curious, and will occasionally interact and play with you (especially if you bring food....then you will make lots of friends). Dedicated killing-machines such as some shark species and a few other nasties are different of course, and they of course get all of the press (notice also how many sharks are living in Hollywood) but much of the underwater world is a serene environment that can be quite hospitable....as long as you know what you're doing :-)
And my DH is SCUBA certified, too. I keep his life insurance policy up to date; I'd pay that before I pay the mortgage, LOL!
No, he WILL be eaten by something down there one day, and I will report it here in full. I stay in the tide pools with my snorkle; and I watch out for jellyfish and those spiney-things you can step on.
Just, Yuck! I have air-breathing lungs for a reason! ;)
