Free diver hunts for octopus

While snorkeling, a free diver fisherman was hunting for octopus. Though we don't like to see his methods, we appreciate his skill to earn a living. What is on his waist? A belt with dozens of octopus. Notice how he gives the photographer a "thumbs-up"!

This video was taken on one of our snorkeling trips off La Boquita in Santiago Bay in Manzanillo. The octopus hunter happend to be where we were feeding the King Angels, and I couldn't resist taking a video of hiim free diving. He could stay down about 2 minutes. He sells the octopus to the market and restaurants here.
