A diver and underwater photographer, Jules Casey, recently captured footage of an octopus disappearing from sight, digging itself into the sand as if it were never there in the first place. It’s pretty incredible to see.

“Watch this incredibly rare Double-Spot Octopus completely disappear,” wrote Casey in her Instagram post sharing the video. “It has taken me 10 years to finally find one at Rye pier. [. . .] Knowing how incredibly shy they are I knew I didn’t have long before it would completely disappear beneath the sand. Very little is actually known about this Octopus because they are a fairly recent discovery.”
