We saw a huge cuttlefish under a rock. At this point it was white and blue and looked a bit like the rock itself. Then we looked around and possibly another one emerged from behind some red seaweed and it was changing colour to blend in with the red seaweed. We believe there may have been two but can't verify this as one went under a rock and then another appeared: it could have exited the cave through another opening and be the same one or it could be the mate. This cuttlefish was extremely large: at least 50 cm! Photos are screen shots from OLYMPUS TG 4 movie. They are not well focussed but serve to show different perspectives of the animal.
