The Story: A marine biologist had started to build an artificial reef a few hundred metres away from the Rye pier hoping it would provide a safe place for Octopus to lay their eggs. Within a matter of days this Octopus had settled in and began to lay her eggs. I checked on her progress over several weeks & watched as her tentacles tenderly cared for every egg. Due to lockdown and diving being restricted this was the last time I was able to visit her so I never knew if all her eggs hatched
