Details: I headed straight out from the stairs, and quickly came across a cuttlefish blending into some weed on the bottom. I descended and spent about 20mins with it. It started to get a bit too use to my presence, and started tasting my computer that was dragging along the bottom. It was like a kitten with a ball of string, and i started tempting it by moving away slowly and letting it pounce on the computer. I created a monster and couldn’t go anywhere without it chasing after me. I eventually had to out swim in to escape it, and headed for some overhangs.
