    Amazing video. Thought the Octopus might of had a little more fight in it.

    I had visions of a Sea Lion with an Octopus stuck to his face (kind of like in the Alien movies).

    Still an amazing video - fascinating to see these creatures in action.

    Amazing footage but you would have thought they could have come up with a camera design that was a bit more streamlined?! Having that gear stuck to your back must have a fair bit of drag on it...
