Release the KRAKEN! Wait, release the Kraken! No, release the kraken! Ok, just give him a small hug, mini-kraken...

My only response from being on here is ...he was wearing split fins and the octopus did not like it.

Exactly this. This video popped up on my phone a few minutes ago with the headline of "TERRIFYING GIANT OCTOPUS ATTACK!" I watched the video and it had captions on it like how the octopus had his tentacles wrapped around the diver and was trying to drag him down to the bottom. I was like and thought, "Yeah, he looks absolutely horrified by that attack."

Yep, sensationalist journalism at it's best.

....and was out of trim...and had a dangling octo...and a dangling console...and a poodle jacket...

Hard to be in trim when you dive LP steel and carry at least 20lb on the weight belt at what I assume is a warm water destination.

He was swimming with his hands.
Dive buddy behind didn't seem to notice the octo at all and videographer obviously wasn't concerned in the least. Sure wish could have seen from the onset

Small hug?? Looked more like sexual assault.
Me: How was your dive John?
John: Really good until a mini Kraken molested me!
Me: Cool...at least it wasn't another Dolphin.
John: Yeah!
