However, they must watch out for the [[Octopus (character)|Octopus]] near the treasure because if they touch its arms, they lose a life. Losing all three lives results in a [[Game Over]].

Three scuba divers head for a treasure chest under the sea, guarded by the Octopus. The divers must be patient because the Octopus's arms are moving randomly. The player earns one [[point]] for every piece of treasure they grab and three points for returning the load to the boat. As the player progresses in the game, the Octopus's arms will move faster. Game B is faster and more difficult. All three lives are restored once the player hits 200 and 500 points.<ref>''Octopus'' instruction manual, page 5</ref>
