After watching this, and a few other videos demonstrating their advanced problem solving abilities, I believe it. I mean any animal can sense that the object isn't food right away, and even if they couldn't, the diver would appear to be too much of a threat to stay and fight for it. The only logical explanation, as you implied, was to have fun.

If you were to insure that camera, and they say that they don't cover lost or stolen items, what happens if an octopus steals your camera...

The same thing happened to me but he didn't get far since my camera strap was wrapped around my wrist. I ended up with his tentacles reaching up my arm all the way to my neck. Quite an experience!

Octopus stole my bike?

I feel sorry for them because they are so intelligent and they seldom have other intelligent life to play with all bored on the bottom of the ocean (except for dumb fish). Hopefully a dolphin or whale (or any smart sea mammal) will come along and play with them now and again. I wish more people didn't fear animals just because they don't look like them.

Octopuses do this all the time with divers out of boredom. What's DIFFERENT here is that this diver chased it and it wasn't expecting the diver to be so determined. Once the octopus saw that he had new respect for the diver so he became friendly and realized he could have more fun playing with him now that he knew the diver wasn't afraid.

Lol, too funny. It's amazing how it's doing this for no obvious gain - other than (possibly) the fun of it?

while trying to get video of a wild octopus, it suddenly dashed towards me and rips my shiny new camera from out of my hands, then swims off, all while the camera is recording! he swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter. after a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun underneath him and he quickly and curiously grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough time to reach in and grab the camera from out of his mouth. I didn't feel threatened at all during the whole ordeal. he seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. cheeky octopus.
