This Diver Was Nearly Attacked By a Whale, Until She Realized What Was Wrong...

A Death Grip

Being careless while diving can lead to a life or death situation. One diver is notorious for teasing sea creatures while he's on the ocean floor. Chasing barracudas, petting sea turtles, and grabbing small eels before they can escape. However, on one particular dive, he took it too far. He reached out to grab a large conch shell, and when he did, a huge octopus tentacle emerged from it and gripped onto his arm. It was a struggle to free himself, and he quickly swam back up to the surface.
