Short video of dive with squid attack footage (new stuff)

[gonetobaja]

Whats up everyone,

We just finished this video of what it is like to dive with a Humboldt Squid pack. We have never had a person injured on any of our dives and have seen squid every time.

I hope you guys like it.

one time some sort of weird lobster attacked me, but i was able to escape

Very nice video work. My compliments. Somehow being suspended like bait with squids attacking me doesn't float my boat but to each his own.

I assume these suckers don't have teeth?

Not teeth, but a strong beak. I've never seen squids that big, anyway. I was once attacked by a big leather back turtle and it was scary because she won't let me escape, she kept coming after me even while I was swimming in circles as fast as I could. She was bigger than me, and I am 5'10. At one point I hit her in the head with the tip of my spear and pushed her back, but she still kept coming after me until I reached the boat and jumped out of the water. It was really weird. Afterward everybody was making fun of me, because the only logical explanation was that it was just a male looking for sex!.
