A small octopus has taken a page from The Little Mermaid and decided it wants to be part of our world. And it's determined to get there.

Found during a snorkeling trip in the waters of Perth, Australia, the diver says he reached his arm into a cave and pulled it out with a new friend attached. The octopus latches itself on and sticks with the diver for awhile, almost making it to the surface.
