I loved that, thanks for posting.

This is great. I can't figure out whether it thought it got a cool shell house on a short sale or the biggest toy ever

Looks like Molly has some competition!

That video was on national news in the US tonight!

Speaking of that octopus (which was hysterical!) what is the best place and time to spot one of these cool creatures? I ran into a few in Cozumel but after 5 trips to Belize, haven't seen one. And I mean while snorkeling, not diving. Thanks in advance, Underwater Fans!

Do a night snorkel. Takes a bit of courage but well worth it.

yep, Night snorkels and night diving at Hol Chan almost always produce an octopus sighting. Phil is right ,the first time takes a little guts, but in reality my grandmother could do it and have a blast.

Thanks! And who does the best night snorkel in town? (I'll be there in March) Shameless self-promotions welcome

Shameless promotion for my buddy. Chuck and Robbie's dive shop, I've always wanted to go myself and would go with them. http://ambergriscayediving.com/
