This was the first time I had seen a cuttlefish.  We were diving in Puerto Galera, in the Philippines — about 3 hour drive, then a long boat ride, from Manila.  This is what is called “muck diving.”  As opposed to colorful reefs, there are sandy or muddy bottoms where people attempt to see and film usually smaller creatures.  This cephalopod was approximately 3 feet from my camera.
