I choose this recipe because I really like octopus. There are others ways to cook but for me this is what I like because it’s delicious. I connected the recipe with diving because this sport is practiced at sea and octopus is a sea animal.

DIVING
Diving is a sport in which a person is immersed in the sea for a recreational activity or research. This sport has been practiced for thousands of years for get food or treasures like pearls. There are two types of diving:
-Apnea in which only a diving mask, snorkel and fins are needed.
-Scuba diving where you needed diving mask, snorkel, diving suit, boots, diving belt, air bottle and fins. Also you need a training course to practice.
It’s a very beautiful but also dangerous sport because there are people who have died.
