Did you know that cuttlefish are masters of disguise? Cuttlefish have up to millions of specialised pigment cells called chromatophores which can be expanded and contracted within a fraction of a second to change the colour of their skin. Cuttlefish change colour to camouflage with their environment, to avoid predators, to hunt and also to communicate and mate with other cuttlefish.

Travel journalist Stephanie Vermillion witnessed these cephalopod dramatics up close while diving, but glass-bottomed boats are also available for visitors who want to stay warm and dry while catching the invertebrate lovefest.
