Britains (no)lesser octopus

After having spoken to fishermen and local divers around the north
Welsh coast and spending nearly 200 hours underwater searching for our
native octopus, i still have had no luck in meeting one face to face.
Does anyone know of the location of one of these beautifull creatures?
or can anyone tell me how i can refine my search or improve my chances
of an encounter? They are only small compared to the common octopus
so does this smaller size make them less bold or nosy than there
larger kin? Hoping you can help..........Dave.
