Tarantula!

When I was on my diving Cenote adventure, I made my way to the bathroom and found a Tarantula against the wall. I realised after a few seconds that they were not poisonous and made my way back to our group to tell them. The dive instructor said ‘lets go get him’, and we walked back to the bathroom and looked for something suitable to move him/her out of the bathroom and back into the jungle. He coerced the spider into a small bucket and walked outside and placed him on the dirt. I managed to get some video footage of him making his way back towards the bathroom and towards a small dog that we intercepted. You can her my admiration for this beautiful creature, but also my shrieks of fear as it starts to quickly move towards me.
