Joan recently was fortunate enough to have back-to-back dives with Bari Reef’s resident octopus, affectionately named Hank. The first day Joan spent 23 minutes with Hank and another ten minutes the following day. All this time with Hank gave Joan the opportunity to produce this very special short film, Hanging with Hank.

Glide along with a flounder as it floats across the reef.

Alan has edited more than 300 minutes of video that Joan shot into a crisp 4 ½ minute feature film.

Of course, Hank the Octopus is back This film is dedicated to a dear friend who passed away last year.

When you go diving you never know what you are going to encounter. During one of our dives, on our summer trip to Bonaire, our friend Becky directed us to follow her. She led us to an octopus out in the open lying in the sand. We spent the next 23 minutes, while carefully respecting the reef, following the octopus, that we affectionately named Hank, as he hunted for food and blended into the environment.
