Watch the incredible moment a snorkeler dives down to film an octopus on the seafloor, only for the creature to check out the camera in return.
The footage, captured by Eric Desmet from, Cannes, France, shows the diver approaching carefully before placing the camera nearby.
The octopus, seemingly unbothered, reaches out curiously, giving viewers a rare close-up encounter.
The calm exchange between human and sea creature left viewers amazed.
Eric Desmet said: “During a snorkelling day, I saw an octopus on the seafloor and decided to dive down to take pics. I also put a camera close to him and get a check by return.”
