That time a curious octopus delayed our weld inspection by an hour

We just floated there, watching it fiddle with our tools like a tiny underwater mechanic.

Had a crab once that wouldn't let go of my wrench. We just let him keep it and grabbed another one.

Yeah about the jar thing, they actually unscrew them from the outside. That's the crazy part, it shows they understand the concept of a lid. Totally lines up with them seeing our gear as a bunch of parts to take apart.

Wild how smart those guys are. I saw a documentary where an octopus in a lab kept unscrewing jars from the inside to get food. They're problem solvers. Your story about it fiddling with tools totally tracks. Makes sense it would see your gear as a puzzle to figure out.
