The octopus is a shape-shifting master of camouflage and one of the smartest animals on the reef.
How to recognize it
Watch for a texture or color that suddenly moves, or an eye and a den ringed with shells. Often seen on night dives.
Where and when to see it
In Isla Fuerte divers regularly spot it at El museo, Yesbi. Explore every site on our interactive dive map.
Dive with respect
We practice good buoyancy and never touch or chase marine life. Watching an animal behave naturally is the whole point, and it keeps the reef of Isla Fuerte alive for the next diver.
