Description
The Day Octopus Turquoise Wash Photo T-Shirt surrounds a warm underwater portrait with soft, spreading blues. Cobi Hay Yacobi’s photograph supplies the animal, while the artistic wash gives it a looser setting for everyday wear. Choose this version for a reef subject that feels at home with casual clothes.

Day Octopus Turquoise Wash: the design
Soft strokes of turquoise and blue surround the day octopus, contrasting with its warm skin tones. The animal comes from Cobi’s photograph; the surrounding wash is an artistic addition. A small 2dive.shop logo appears vertically at the lower-left edge.
The day octopus’s visible eye, folded arms and pale markings keep the portrait recognizable within its new setting. Red-brown skin provides the warm focus, while the brushstrokes spread color around the animal with soft edges that suit the wash treatment.
Across the front chest, the print measures about 11.00 x 11.21 in (27.9 x 28.5 cm) on L through 5XL. Smaller shirts carry proportionally reduced artwork: approximately 91% on M, 82% on S and 75% on XS.
A daylight hunter from the reef
The day octopus hunts during daylight, feeding on small fish, crustaceans and mollusks that stay in one place. Its range extends from the Red Sea to the Hawaiian Islands.
Changes in skin pigment and texture let it resemble rock, coral or algae. That camouflage helps with hunting and escaping predators. Learn more about these adaptations in the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s day octopus account.
Choose a softer edge around the portrait
The day octopus stays easy to recognize, while the wash changes how the artwork meets the shirt. If you like a design that opens gradually into the surrounding fabric, this version is worth comparing with the original blue-water portrait. Look at the outer shape as well as the animal when choosing your favorite.
Try it with plain shorts or jeans so the spread of color remains visible. For a gift, the day octopus design can suit someone who likes marine photographs and painted treatments in equal measure. It carries a specific underwater subject into a relaxed piece of clothing, making room for both the animal’s detail and the recipient’s own sense of style.
Cotton, printing and delivery
Our print partner produces each shirt to order in the USA using direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. The Bella+Canvas 3001 is a unisex jersey T-shirt with short sleeves and a retail fit.
All three solid colors are 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, weighing 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²). The light, breathable fabric is finished with side seams, tapered shoulders, a ribbed crew neck and a tear-away label. The blank comes from Honduras. Bella+Canvas belongs to the Fair Labor Association and holds Platinum WRAP certification; the shirt is REACH certified.
Your order includes free shipping to the USA, Canada and Australia. After printing, delivery takes about 2-5 business days within the USA or 10-30 business days to Canada, Australia and other eligible destinations. These are estimates; express shipping is unavailable.
For other countries offered at checkout, shipping is US$12 for the first shirt plus US$8 for each additional item. The total appears before payment. Import duties or taxes may apply outside the USA. The shop does not ship to the EU, EEA or UK. Allow time for production before counting the delivery period, especially for a gift.
Choose your fit
Sizes run XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL. Lay a comfortable T-shirt flat, measure its chest below the armholes, then measure from the shoulder’s highest point to the hem. Use those measurements with the printer’s charts below. The tables list inches and centimeters, along with sleeve lengths. Choose the units you normally use, and compare the garment measurements before deciding which size to add.

Allow up to 1.5 in (3.8 cm) variation. Chest all round means the shirt’s circumference. Compare your flat shirt with the chest width column. For comparison, the unisex shape has a straighter body and more length than a women’s fitted T-shirt.
Compare the table columns using one unit system throughout. Sleeve length can help you compare the overall shape with a shirt you already enjoy wearing. If you prefer more room through the body, use a reference shirt with that same amount of ease rather than assuming your usual letter size will give the result you want.
Choose your day octopus shirt color
White, Black and Navy are available at $44.99 USD in every listed size. Choose the fit and background color you prefer without a size surcharge.
White gives the day octopus wash a light surround, Black emphasizes the pale markings, and Navy relates to the blue brushstrokes. Pay attention to the soft outer edges when comparing the front views. The design’s shape and the fabric around it work together, so choose the version that feels most comfortable alongside your usual clothes.
Care for your shirt
Machine wash cold, up to 30 °C (86 °F). Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry low, iron on medium heat and do not dry clean.
