He said: ‘The big moment was when she comes out and makes herself completely vulnerable to me. He started to document his experiences and, in time, met a curious young octopus that captured his attention. ‘They – and other sharks - are the least of your worries,’ he explained.

'It was a big moment for me – not least because I opted for no wetsuit as Craig does – but because I had been following Craig's career for 20 years prior, from when he and his brother Damon spent three years living in the central Kalahari of Botswana filming the award-winning 'The Great Dance', a documentary about the role of hunting in Bushmen psyche and society. The location was near Simon's Town on the Cape Peninsula, which is exposed to the cold Benguela current of the Atlantic Ocean. She used her body to communicate how she’s feeling, and how she used her body to communicate to predators to confuse them – you see some of that in the film. When they scan us, humans don’t come up as a prey item. And how the amazing creature went on to become, he told MailOnline Travel, his ‘ultimate teacher’ – changing how he relates to nature. He first spotted the unusually curious octopus in a calm 200-metre section of kelp forest – an ‘incredible place’ – holding on to multiple shells in a bid to protect itself from an unseen predator. ‘She would come out and her eyes would sort of come forward. Driving to the dive site by car is far more dangerous. Human kind literally begun in South Africa and Craig says that it is on the shores of South Africa that we became humans in the mind. Foster was the subject, producer, and photographer of a 2020 Netflix Original documentary film called My Octopus Teacher, directed by Pippa Ehrlich and James Reed. A few years ago, South African documentary filmmaker Craig Foster felt burnt out from years of working on arduous nature films. The comments below have not been moderated. Craig said: ‘What was incredible was to realise “oh my goodness, this animal is the ultimate teacher for me”. (Netflix) A few years ago, South African documentary filmmaker Craig Foster felt burnt out from years of working on arduous nature films. The Octopus is long gone—octopuses rarely survive more than 18 months in the wild—but her co-star and “student,” filmmaker Craig Foster, still visits her former home in daily dives that are as much about pilgrimage as they are about science. Was Craig worried about getting up close and personal with powerful predators during his swims, such as great white sharks? You can adjust your cookie choices in those tools at any time. 'I didn’t name her because I didn't want to make her into a curiosity or a pet. Very smooth. I would go home every day and watch the material and draw maps – the camera was used as a tool to understand the environment and to really embed myself in this wild place. In 2012, in order to protect the stretch of water he loves so dearly, Foster co-founded the Sea Change Project: “The idea was to get this great African Sea Forest, the home of the octopus teacher, recognized as a global icon, like the Serengeti or the Great Barrier Reef.” 'Saving The World Through The Wall Of Water' is a Tom Foster TEDx Talk. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline. The father-of-one found that his daily swims rebooted his desire to film and take photographs again, but revealed that he never intended to make a film about The Great African Sea Forest – ‘no one is going to commission a film about a kelp forest’, he said. The... Can't face the uncertainty of going abroad? ‘But what is a real danger is the Cape of Storms [also known as the Cape of Good Hope] – it’s one of the wildest most powerful ocean areas on our planet. Then you realise that she trusts a human and she’s prepared to come out and go about her hunting and daily activity – and that’s a huge moment, because The Great African Sea Forest is just teeming with predators. ‘They have a whole body language and a skin language – you can tell how they’re feeling. How she uses tools to defend herself against attack and 'walks' - bipedally, tripedally, and quadrupedally - to navigate the seafloor. She says: 'My Octopus Teacher has to be seen to be believed.
