Rare documentation: an octopus was recorded protecting its offspring with one eye open

The photographer Steven Kovacs said: “In order to discover and see some of these animals, one had to dive hundreds of times and years upon years, since they are so rare and elusive.” The specific octopus caught in the eye of the underwater camera is a special species, with green and blue hues, that can change its colors depending on the cells on its skin.

The photographer added: “The difficulty and challenge in this type of diving is not the photography itself, but the ability to find animals drifting in the open ocean waters.” For example, larvae and crabs migrate up from the depths, in the direction of water full of nutritional values ​​precisely at night, while in daylight they return down.
