Marine biologist Jacinta Shackleton has filmed an encounter with an extremely rare 'rainbow-like' blanket octopus on the Great Barrier Reef. Her screams of delight can be heard even underwater and through her diving mask.

"Seeing one in real life is indescribable, I was so captivated by its movements, it was as if it was dancing through the water with a flow
