A diver has shared the moment he found an extremely rare blue lobster along the Cornwall coast.
Giosuè Reale loves getting up close and personal with a variety of sea creatures.
The 22-year-old regularly shares his videos on TikTok (@giosdiving) and has recently revealed what he found in Falmouth, Cornwall.
The stunning blue lobster is so rare that it’s estimated your chance of catching the crustacean is 1 in 2 million, reports the BBC.
“I have been fascinated by the ocean for as long as I can remember and started scuba diving at 11 years old,” Giosuè, from Italy but residing in Sussex, England, told NeedToKnow.co.uk.
“Up until last year, I only ever dived abroad or whenever I would be visiting family in Italy.
“I have now been really getting into diving around the UK.
“It is much colder, but the marine life around England, especially down in Cornwall is incredible.”
Giosuè also always makes sure to go diving when safe, assessing every dive site before taking the plunge.
He added: “It is important to always respect the sea, I only go diving when conditions are good.
“And I know I will be diving as safely as I can — always dive with a friend, if possible.
“Most people don’t really associate England with diving.
“But I have dived in places such as the Maldives, Bahamas, and Indonesia and some of my best diving moments have been in this country.
“I have seen sharks, dolphins, seals, cuttlefish and even stingrays in English waters.”
He also shared a clip of his last find on socials where the post gathered over 358,000 likes.
In the video, Giosuè films the water as he swims through the ocean.
He soon comes across kelp, jellyfish, and even a super rare blue lobster.
The clip gathered over 27,000 likes, as well as hundreds of comments from amazed users.
