Video has captured the incredible moment a massive octopus with three metre-long tentacles grabbed a scuba diver’s hand and led her to a secret shrine .“He would swim a little way, then stop and turn around to look at me, almost as though he was making sure I was still following,” Ms Casey said.After several minutes of swimming together through the icy waters off the Mornington Peninsula , the unlikely new friends arrived at their destination.“It’s this block, like a headstone,” she said.
The incredible encounter gave her the answer to a mystery she’d been searching for since discovering several submerged garden statues, secured to the ocean floor with metal pickets.The octopus stretched out to take Jules hand with one of his tentacles. Picture: Jules Casey “Our bay is predominantly sand based, so you can swim for miles and miles and just find grass and sand. Any time there’s a rocky structure or a pier or, like this, an artificial reef, it’ll attract life.”The headstone the octopus took her to is the final piece of the special submerged puzzle.Ms Casey has been diving for many years, both freediving and scuba, and is out in the water virtually every single day – even in the depth of winter.
She has encountered the same animal in the past while diving, but these days he has a few white patches and has lost the tips of some of his tentacles.He took Jules directly to the headstone, which is at the heart of a secret underground shrine.
