As part of the scientific dive team, we release the octopuses from the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre in Sidney, BCevery 4-6 months. This allows an incredible experience as they quickly adapt back into their native environment. Divers included Paula Romagosa, Sarah Friesen, Alisa and Tyler Preston, plus Isaac Balaam and Wyatt Rogers were our awesome shore support. Learn more at www.oceandiscovery....

Peaceful dives from the Wreck of the El Aguila to Pillar Coral and Halfmoon Bay Wall. Lots of tropical fish, a large green moray, a few invasive lionfish and some fun times with a hawksbill turtle. Thanks to Adam Baxter from Luna Beach Resort for arranging the diving while we stopped in to Roatan for the day.
I wish I could have seen a picture of him stretched out to his full length…
super macho man line
Bogus
(Super) Macho Man, is that you?
I also remember hearing about him in The Soul of an Octopus! Quite the grand creature for sure! Interesting walk he's got. Don't think I've seen one walk with front arms raised like that. I wonder if he finds the substrate of that spot distasteful.
Great music what is it
章魚的內心世界
i too came here from soul of an octopus , good book! this octopus is needs a pair of walking boots though
Way too cool! That’s a dream dive of mine right there!!! Great video!
Dude seems very comfortable with “walking” the bottom. Is this a normal behavior for these big boys or just Dude? He also seemed to enjoy your company and was NOT camera shy! Was l correct is thinking that in one of the pics that Dude went over one of the divers like in a game of leap frog? Live long Big Guy!
wow:) that's a big one:)
Holy Moly...!! HOW big is that sucker...??!! He's humungouso anyhoo! 😳
Your not wrong about that
Very cool critters. This one clearly wasn't people shy. He seemed quite comfortable with the people swimming around him. Very intelligent creatures which are capable of gratitude and affection towards humans they've bonded with. It angers me that they are such a popular food item in so many countries. They are killed by the millions for sushi. Such a crime to kill creatures with the intelligence and emotional capacity these gentle creatures possess. It's like killing very smart dogs or cats for food.
lol Man, if that's The Dude, then I'd hate to see The King. LOL
Awesome!!
Very menacing looking.
Wow! What a close-up of a suction cup! You can see even capillaries. He's really cool. About how old is he, and how long did you have him?
The Dude is just trying to get away from the paparazzi...
How about playing a little Vivaldi on the next video? The Dude is scary enough without the ominous music! The Dude needs an agent to elevate his image. Yes he is unattractive but I'll bet he is really smart.
I'd rather release the Bogus...
Release the- Duude?!
With the music, you are making an innocent octopus look like DJ Octavio from Splatoon

It's nice to see this beautiful animal return back to the ocean. It's natural home. Freedom at last.
What music is this?? it sounds really good! (just saw the credits, thanks!)
How old was he?
whats with the 1950ths horror music?
Referred here by Sy Montgomery's mention in _The Soul of an Octopus_. Absolutely fascinating creatures, and The Dude is a spectacular example. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad they release the octopuses they study, and I'll be starting that book soon. .
Me, too👍🏽👍🏽
Came here from the Soul of an Octopus shout out! Thanks for sharing. He's a big ... Dude
So did I!
Me too! Brilliant book.
Me too! Greetings from Russia
So cool!! That's why i came here too
Same!!!
wonderful images, but the music?!?!
Wow... I've been fascinated by octopi since I was a kid, even had a little pet one when I was 12! It was/is an obsession, really, they never cease to amaze me- I have never seen such amazing footage ( no pun intended) of the suckers on the GPO.... wow!
Plural is "octopuses" since the word is of Greek origin.
In Canada things are different. Animals in captivity can be released back into the wild with the proper approval from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and only after a full veterinary examination. We are a CAZA accredited institution and we stick to the strict regulations set out by CAZA and DFO.
yeah, clearly....
You clearly have no scientific training.
I work there, and we do everything by the book. The octopuses have little to no human contact, and all the water is pumped into the center directly.
go ahead and justify it anyway you like, in most places and circumstances it is illegal to release native captives back to nature after having been in captivity. At least thats how we do it in the usa, and being that this is a "scientific" establishment Id think that theShaw Center would knowhow dangerous this is...
So a oceanographic research facility is proud of the fact that they capture large sea creatures, expose them to aquarium life and all the little nasty exotic diseases/pathogens (that we cant even see), then they take and put it back in the ocean to spread said exotic diseases and pathogens... Good job guys, way to be all about the environment!!
Frogfeeder you are such a complete and utter f##kwit
Oh brother
