In wake of the recent issue with octopus hunting in the very spot where this footage was obtained, we are hopeful to stop octopus hunting at Cove Two. Please sign and share: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/gi...

Select 720p for HD! A giant pacific octopus mother who lived just across from downtown Seattle had her hatch right under the noses of local divers. Her den was sequestered in Cove Two in West Seattle, in a location that spared her from predators and over-visitation by humans. On September 4 (aka early, early on September 5), 2010, the eggs began hatching. It's a time of mixed emotion; joy at the hatch, and sadness at the knowledge that this event means the mother's life will end. The hatch lasted a full week, after which the mother died. Spoiler alert: Best footage comes starting at 3:24. Enjoy!

    Very nice work I'm envious my little G7 is lacking in the video department. Sorry to hear the news from across the pond about the GPO being hunted, was it from the same site? Its sad to think that there are divers out there capable of doing such a thing especially from such a popular spot. ps. the watermark is a must my photos i put on facebook are all over google images.

    Greetings, thanks for your nice comments. I've enjoyed my numerous interactions with these amazing animals. The news from Seattle is indeed very sad. However, we are actively working to use this incident to protect the giant pacific octopus for the long haul. I have put the link to the petition that will further these efforts in the comments for this film. Please sign and share! :)

    Hi there. Sorry you feel the film is ruined by copyright marking. Sadly I've had footage stolen and claimed as original work of someone else, so I do not post anything of value on a free access location like YouTube without obvious copyright marking. The original footage is copyright free and you'll be able to see it in an upcoming documentary soon!
