He says spending time under water is like visiting an alien planet full of strange creatures. Dylan grew up in Maple Valley Washington, just outside of the liberal blue bubble of Seattle. Dylan learned young how to hunt and do farm work. On October 31, 2012, he decided to marry his love of scuba diving with his desire to be self­sufficient and harvest his own food. That gray morning, the goal was to pull a giant Pacific octopus from its den, wrestle it to the surface and take it home for dinner. He and a friend headed to the popular dive site at Cove 2 in West Seattle. With his bare hands, Dylan caught an 80­pound cephalopod (头足类动物). “The key is to stay calm. Once you start to panic, you'll drown，” said Dylan, recalling his 45­minute hand­to­tentacle (触须) battle with the octopus. But when he hauled it out of the water, people nearby didn't look very happy. Dylan and his dive partner threw the octopus in the back of their truck and quickly left the scene. Even though what Dylan did was perfectly legal and even though octopus is on restaurant menus all over the Northwest, the taking of this particular octopus touched a nerve. Adult members of the diving community that Dylan was so excited to be a part of not only roundly rejected him, but also threatened to kill him and his family. However, one diver from the Cove 2 community rose above the criticism to guide this young diver. 【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2012年时19岁的Dylan Mayer决定要以潜水作为自己谋生的方式，在他与朋友捕捞到一头80磅的章鱼时，周围的人并不是很开心。而一位来自Cove 2潜水社区的潜水员准备引导这位年轻的潜水员进行一些正确的潜水活动。 1．What did Dylan Mayer decide to do on October 31, 2012?
