Don't try this at home

On a recent dive, I had wrangled a small octopus to show a client and wouldn't ya know it but the little guy crawled up my arm and on to my face. Now I have had larger octopus on my head and face before with no issue (see photo section). However on this particular day, this octopus was unable to find amusement by this and proceeded to let me know that he wanted no part of it and YES THEY CAN BITE!
Don't worry Nate, your Uncle Drew is fine and I blame myself more than the octopus! At least the Conger eel didn't have teeth. This guy has a sharp beak like a bird! OUCH!

I know I will probably hear an earful from the PETA extremist's, but I was doing no harm and was well aware of the risk, and as I like to say: Octopus = 1 ScubaDrew = 0
Make sure you turn up the volume.

Hiya Drew! (or should I say Aloha?)

Dan Jordan and I dove with you back in January of 2005. LOL

Glad you survived. Look forward to diving with you in the future.

Please don't hate me for saying this, but...

...I could watch that OVER and OVER and OVER!!!

Love, your big brother who used to torture you (and I say that with great respect).

I mean, you can even see the beak-holes!
