Cuttlefish off Hatenohama Beach on Kume-jima, Okinawa, Japan

In fairly shallow waters off Hate-no-hama Beach in Kume-jima of Okinawa, Japan, Betsy somehow spotted a perfectly blended cuttlefish (about the size of a man's fist) motionless among some rocky fossilized coral, so I switched the camera to video mode & dove down right up to the little guy, getting him to budge ever so slightly when I was literally only centimeters from touching him with the camera.
