Jesse the Hantu Cuttlefish



"Hello.." Says Jesse the Cuttlefish, who lives at Hantu. "It's been a long time, I haven't seen divers for a awhile. Was wondering were you guys've been."

Jesse likes to hang out in the shelters of the Hantu Kecil Jetty. His excellent camoufladge keeps him well safe. But it seems he doesn't rely too much on camo because here he is in all his red, orange and white splendour! That makes it easy for divers to spot him. But most of the time, we believe, it's Jesse who comes up and says hi to the divers.

"You must be here cos there's a monsoon on Malaysia. Yeah.. That's why I like it here too. You know you're always safe and sheltered. Anyway, heaps of my mates here by the jetty like to get together for tea on Sunday afternoons. Drop by if you have the time!"
