That's pretty cool! I was always fascinated by cephalopods and would have a cuttlefish or two in my tank....if only they lived long. Their life span is too short for me. My one question is how did they get this to the surface without it exploding....178 atmospheres!!!!

Did you watch that movie on Netflix called Remarkably bright creatures? Really good movie about an octopus. Story line is so good.
