Giant Cuttlefish Attack SCUBA diver

- Giant Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) attack on female dive buddy. Cuttlefish breed and lay their eggs around this time of year - and become very aggressive and "frisky". They are very intelligent and are attracted to "shiny" things such as this torch, and especially anything that is yellow in colour.
I motioned to her to switch the torch off, unfortunately she didn't understand and this footage is the result. This is the first time this diver had ever seen a cuttlefish. This cuttlefish followed us for another 20 minutes.
New title: "Tiny cuddlefish sad when diver refuses to play."
😂
Or pay, possibly.
Ha ha. Make it food
@Finn "Tiny cuddlefish [Cuttlefish]..."
He should have given him a sardine or something...
release the kraken
🤣
Little Cthulhu
LMAO!
Kraken level: 1
Gotta do 64 waves to get to Cthulhu
Haha
Diver: [Waves lit torch at cuttlefish.]
Cuttlefish: “So, you have chosen death.”
Flashlight* dam Brits lol jk
More like, 'you don't wanna do nothing do ya?'
Cuttlefish only show signs of aggression during breeding season. The breeding season for cuttlefish is mid-March to late June, in the video it states it was taken in april so they confirms it is during breeding season. This is probably the cause of its aggression.
@@Flqmmable How vicious can they be? Has anyone ever shown evidence of a bite?
OldMech ..totally same question…like how do you actually know you have sustained an injury?
Man..didn't think the diver was going to survive that vicious attack for a minute..
🤭🤭🤭
This is no laughing matter. Every year, nearly 4 people are remotely brushed by these dangerous creatures.
@@gastondoumerc7863 And that's not counting all the incidents that go unreported.
He learned the hard way that they're not "cuddle" fish.
their scientific name is "brushius upius maximimalius"
@@electricheisenberg5723 No that’s the spell that spawns them
Had a great dive with two giant cuttlefish in Malaysia, spent the whole dive watching them hunt just below a tidal ridge, catching the fish as they were caught by the surf. We also "communicated!" with waving arms and shaking a silver bracelet I had on, fantastic memory and a great video, thanks
Show the video!
This experience didn't go quite as well! 😳😧😲
Really sounds like something special - certainly a great story to share. I've got my own stories, so I know just how indelible that can be. Thx

@@deHakkelaar1 a haha that Mike dude was trying to call you out and it backfired on him😂
This video was taken in April - this is around the time they breed and lay eggs - they tend to get a bit agressive and frisky at this time. After they lay their eggs they do die. This one didn't die on this particular day - it harrassed us for the rest of the dive.
My dad spear fished a couple of these once whirl he was overseas, however his wife at the time didn’t know how to properly prepare them, and ruptured the ink sacks and it went all over their entire kitchen. I don’t think he ever tried bringing them home again lmao
Yeah I got interested and googled why cuttlefish get agression and I came to find out that they do so in breeding season which by a little bit of looking about I found out breeding season was in progress at the time of the video.
Did it hurt? did she bite you ?
I'd be in the same mood if I was going to die today.
Can they harm someone?
Wow that’s the biggest most frightening wild animal attack I’ve ever seen. I thought the cuttlefish was going to swallow him whole. I’m never going in the sea again - I may not even get in the bath I’m so traumatised.
Thank god someone else posted something sarcastic so that I didn't have to
Right, he's lucky it didn't take off a leg.
Yeah. I'm scared out of my mind now!! I just called animal control to come and get my Oscar's out of my aquarium and away from me!!!
@@BoratM.Sagdiev - LMAO! 🤣
What you on about
Attacked?… She was just looking for a cuddle.
HAHAHA 🤣
A CUTTLE
agreed not an attack. maybe curious or just a warning to fuck off from my territory/food supply?...or cuddle fish wants cuddles? lol.....most likley just attracted to divers light!
Thats what she said
@@stavros693000 giant cuttlefish are known to fake out charges on humans
Diver was just lucky the cuttlefish didn’t go full UFO and hypnotize him to death
Whoa, at the end all the small fishes are tryin' to calm him down, sweet : )
I’ve read that cuttlefish are very intelligent, and may have one of the most complex body languages in the world. The entire language of cuttlefish is based upon light, color, and body posture. That cuttlefish probably didn’t like something about that diving light.
Cuttlefish only show signs of aggression during breeding season. The breeding season for cuttlefish is mid-March to late June, in the video it states it was taken in april so they confirms it is during breeding season. This is probably the cause of its aggression.
I think it just wanted a cuddle.
@@rockets4kids Cuddlefish
@@Flqmmable Do you think ita was possibly trying to mate with him?
@@BoratM.Sagdiev Could be a possibility. He seems like a handsome fella
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going..
oh no 😂
Honestly such an underrated comment.
Ah, I see you´re a man of culture as well
Unreal comment
Glad you liked it - yes they are fantastic animals (and very curious), as many people before have said - they have similar intelligence to that of a dog.
The only difference is dogs are good for eating. I’m Vietnam boi
@@Nik_Airball Ah yes dog>fish for supper sign me up
@@theluchakabuto5206 Cuttlefish aren't fish.
@@williamjordan5554 That’s fair, do you happen to know if they are edible? Surely more edible than dog (copium)
@@theluchakabuto5206 I don't know. Probably. They're related to squid.
"Human, you've changed nothing. Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Reapers are your salvation through destruction!"
Considering it went after the hand with the flashlight. You would have thought the diver could have put 2 and 2 together and shut it off.
Maybe you should consider that they did it on purpose to post a video lol, they know what they're doing, who knows maybe a pet, didn't see the leash. :)
@@dannygarden464 this was in 2004 kid, you weren't even born yet, people weren't desperate for "clout" like they are today.
@@evilpimp7877 Your math is a bit off, TH-cam didn't even start until 2005, but I guess the rest of your point is valid.
From memory this was taken around the time of their normal breeding season - at this time they are very territorial and agressive - they also seem to like anything brightly coloured, such as my buddies torch. I can assure you that noy many people feed these guys around Bass Point as they will take a nice chunk out of you.
Aren't they venomous?
I was diving there about 20 years ago, looking closely at something on the sea floor. I had picked up a rock from the bottom for negative buoyancy. One of these puppies decided to sneak up and see what I was looking at. My God! I looked up, an inch away from my face! Aaagh! I hit it with the rock - it turned every colour you can see at 10m!!
Every colour you can see at 10m lol.
Today's the day. I've been mulling over what to type for over a decade- 14 years to be exact, in response to your comment. I just couldn't quite find the right words... Well here goes: Sounds like it was quite an experience.
How he survived such a stunning display of power is unbelievable. I hope his long lasting PTSD doesn’t destroy his love for the sea.
"Giant Cuttlefish (Sepia apama) attack on female dive buddy. " Literally the first line in the description. lol
@@13ECHO20 who cares, you understood the sentiment.
@@glumsulk Relax... I was laughing... Take a chill pill.
@@13ECHO20 sounded like some virtue signalling but i accept that i mightve jumped to conclusions.
@@glumsulk I was just trying to add humor...
Cuttlefish is like an angry fisherman angry with “those damn kids”. The little fish are like “There he is!! we see him we see him hahahaha “
this is so funny - it reminds me of a dive at Jervis Bay back in 1986 when the exact thing happend to my dive buddy - I nearly lost my regulator laughing so hard!
It just wanted a hug.
Encounter with one off northern Papua New Guinea led to my short story "Ten and ten", published in Analog magazine.
Incidentally, based off my encounter (which lasted some 10-15 minutes), when a cuttlefish goes all white, it either means "Danger!" or "More stupid humans coming" (or possibly both). Spotting two newly arrived divers, a cuttlefish up near the top of the reef I was diving went all white and a second or so later, so did the one hovering a meter in front of me. Alien language.
That Leviathan baby is just trying to warn you about The Reapers.
probably swam a little too close to its eggs or babies by accident? I don't know why else it would behave like that. I've swam with cuttlefish multiple times and they are really calm.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the diver…
I'm sure that would've helped
I watched this in Ze Frank's voice: "That is HOW the Cuttlefishhh Dooooo"
The cuttlefish is probably saying "This is for all my relatives that you've put in your birdcage!"
It's not attacking him, it noticed the light in his hand and is trying to get closer to it.
When I saw the title, I thought it may be Giant Squid which can be over 30 feet long. This cuttlefish seems pretty small.
The noble Cuttle defends its territory!
(I can’t believe this video is 17 years old ) - I saw 3-4 small cuttlefish in Virgin Gorda , BVI. It was really close to shore , and their movements were synchronized. It was thirty + years ago , probably lasted 2-3 min and it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Scary stuff!😬 Thank goodness she was so brave and reacted swiftly.
chill out man! probably it just wanted to cuddle.
it's a cuddlefish after all! =w=
All the fish were like "calm down man, hes cool"

TH-cam: Want to see a 16 year old video of a diver being mildly surprised by an Australian cuttlefish?
Me: No... wait. Sigh. Okay.
of how adorable of how they swim.
just makes this video much more precious
I love all the little fish swimming around and just watching. They know exactly what's going on, they probably knew the cuttlefish was coming long before the diver did, they just wanna see what's gonna happen.
Always take a sharp knife with you. You never know what a dive can bring. Cuttlefish Wanna f around!!!? YOU WANNA F AROUND!!? TSSS🔪 TSSS🔪
@@mufasta8322 Do we need to evaluate you?
Lol, do you know what the deep blue can present? Me neither. "Have and _not_ need, instead of needing and not having." Im just saying, be adequately prepared rather than being a sitting duck.....

Nice video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Wow! First time I have ever seen one have a go like this.
One of my absolute favorate animals (Mollucs)
Point Lowly South Australia
The Giant Cuttlefish breeding ground is in extreme ongoing danger from being developed for minning, right at the site!
If you want to save this site it needs to be pushed hard to become a reserve.

Cuttlefish: Oooh, shiny torch! Me wants, kind Lady! :3
This ocean ain't big enough for the two of us!
OML! It's the biggest monster I have ever seen! Get out of the water before it eats you😱🦑💫
wow, scary.. they are impressive.
*Cuddlefish:* I just wanted to cuddle with him 🤷🏻♀️
They have a beak - similar to that of a parrot
It looks like it was attracted to the dive light. I replayed it a couple times, I don't think it was being aggressive towards the diver at all - it was curious about the light. I have been in the water with curious sea life many times - it can be unsettling, especially if you are there to get some work done and make a living. Fascinating though.
Ya I just said the same thing lol.
This diver, She is very luck she survived!! That Giant Cuttlefish could have broken the skin! Thus causing an infection!! That could have turned septic, thus causing the loss of a limb!!! or life. i'm just saying. Haha!
Cutty: _you came to the wrong neighborhood, homie!_
Thanks to Avengers Age of Ultron every time I hear the word cuttlefish I think of Ulysses Klaue.
He wants to cuddle! Give him a hug...
Have snorkled out here at Bassy, hundreds the cuttlefish in schools.
More colourful and better light show than any fireworks I've ever seen.
Spectacular stuff.
Most inappropriately named TH-cam vid ever.
That cuttlefish look like it was eager to ask the diver to play along but sulk after the diver fail to understand what cuttlefish actually trying to say
"Cuddlefish get closer to SCUBA diver for closer look, diver over reacts"
Interrupt a cuttlefish watching “Finding Nemo” at your own peril…
Dude gets hit once and goes “I’M JOKING chill chill”
The diver was not used to cuttlefish and she did not understand not to have the flashlight turned. The cuttlefish is normally gentle and non-aggressive, but during certain times they can be aggressive. I find them to fascinating beings.
"excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Cthulhu?"
Cuttlefish are one of my favourite animals along with Octopuses! I can't begin to tell you how cute they are :P
Haha great response from wimpy the bubble blower. Cuttlefish: mmm might pair well with a nice Marlborough Sound Sauvignon Blanc!
aww, it wasn't attacking it just wanted to cuttle!... I made a dad joke, ha ha ha
Microsoft movie maker graphics... Man this is a certified TH-cam classic!
I see I’m in the time capsule part of TH-cam.
@astripeyellow Cuttlefish have a very hard and sharp beak - these guys love eating crabs and can easily bite through a crab's shell
Giant p-ussy panics when a squid approaches.
They are scary, I am a diver and seen this before (on Inet). Those ones are always really aggressive and I don't want their beak to bite me.
I live in Western Australia, quite a while ago, maybe 20 years(?) a diver died in an accident with a Cuttlefish. From memory it went for his head and grabbed hold of him, knocking his mouthpiece out. It was near Rottnest Island.
The Great White asked if I could draw your attention for just a moment. But as usual, he saw some hippie skinny dipping and got distracted.
Thanks TH-cam algorithm. You decided to show me this video 15 years after it was uploaded???
He was saying to other cuttlefish, "Yo, come here guys, look at this shiny..." *Punch*, "OWCH!"
Wow, this is the oldest video to ever be recommended to me. Almost 16 years old. This belongs in an archive
I’m now being recommended videos from 15 years ago. I think I’m all caught up on TH-cam now.
I don't know which is more interesting the cuttlefish or the fact that this is a 15yr old TH-cam video. ^^
Mr cuttle was in love with his flippers or am i the only one seeing that
"You wot sum?"
- This cuttlefish probably
Amazing how this arrives in my recommendations. I feel like that cuttlefish wanted to discuss something very important.
The cute widdle cuttlefish just wanted to cuddle. 😆
DIVER : YAAAAHH!!! get it away from me!! Get it away from me!!!!
CUTTLEFISH : gosh , but , your A strange looking fish ... who are you ???? ,🤔
@TheKlundge I've experienced this behaviour every year around April - I have posted another video 4 years later around the same time of year with another "agro" cuttlefish. I think this time of year co-incides with their breeding season.
"Just take...take the money. It's all I got!" 😸
Idk why but there is a certain cuteness to him
Cuttlefish: "Give me yo money! GIVE ME YO MONEY!!!"
He just wanted a hug, instead he got rejected. It was the last we saw of Cuttlefish Calvin.
Diver : what ?
Cuddle fish : what ?
Cameraman always survives.
Ive seen too many analog horror vids. I was expecting an actually "GIANT" Chithulu like cuttlefish to come out of the depths and swallow the diver whole. lol.
He hardly attacked her - more like, he was curious and just checking her out.
"This MY REEF..
...beotch..!"
Now I feel powerful when I eat dried cuttlefish in snack-sized packages!
Forget about the Great White over there, we got Cuttlefish.
Well seems like this got randomly recommended to a bunch of ppl
Monday’s when it goes bopping along to the outdoor pool
It should be called a CUDDLEFISH x] Cuttlefish:I Want a hug and lemmie see ur face plz???
Diver: No way!! Your not special enough to get a hug *Kicks away*
Cuttlefish: Awe man
Squidward is in a bad mood as usual.
The cuttlefish who dreams of one day being calimari...
I don’t see an attack by a cuttlefish in their natural habitat, it appears the cuttlefish is attracted to the diver’s flashlight.
That's how you end up in a bird cage, son
It is your primary directive to swim closer to that beautiful creature...
