Giant Squid Attacks Submersible Camera

I have no idea if this is a giant squid, but it sure does look big and I wouldn't want to encounter it on one of my diving trips. There seems to be some discussion to it maybe being a Humboldt squid, someone will sort that out.

The footage to the best of my knowledge was shot at a depth of 1650 feet in the Gulf of Mexico, the videos shows the big squid wrapping its tentacles around the submersible and at one point the remote controlled are tries to nudge it off.

Cool video.

  1. WOW! That thing is pretty big. I hate to come across one those while diving. That is great video of it.

  2. It's great to see a creature of myth and legend in the flesh, gives me hope for some of the other yet unproven beasties.
