Octopus taste and feel through their suction cups, its quite common for them to land on a diver to investigate what exactly they are. These hight intelligent creatures have been know to escape from captivity and open jars to get at food.
This particular one is a small Giant Pacific Octopus and was very interested in my dive partner. It gave me a great opportunity to photography the interaction.
Thanks for reading.

They can bite. The only hard part is their beak. They have a toxin that when they bite or crush prey using their beat get injected into the prey. This toxin is almost like an acid and it breaks down the flesh and soft parts of the prey allowing them to eat things easily. I never heard of anyone getting bitten but it could be possible.
