One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

while scuba diving in Hawaii, I saw a free swimming octopus land on some coral and change his color and texture about 50 times until he finally camouflaged with the reef, all the while maintaining eye contact with me. I guess I didn't do much in the scenario but still it was amazing.
