Swim with Giant Cuttlefish

They are expert colour-changers and masters of camouflage, and can change shape and texture to look like rocks, sand or seaweed – a spectacular sight to see.

Cuttlefish numbers usually increase throughout May and peak in June and July when the breeding season is in full swing.
