I'd shoot/kill it if I saw it no doubtQuote:
Shell oil uses remote-controlled vehicles to study the water around its oil rigs and this particular recording, pictured, was filmed in the Gulf of Mexico in the Perdido Area of Alaminos Canyon. The rare sighting of the squid was discovered at a depth of more than 7,800ft in November 2007
that is one freaky squid ... never even heard of anything like that .... an offshore late night swim during the hot summer nights will take some serious consideration from now on
Unless you can free dive 7,800 ft I think you're good :cool: The big sharks are what I'd be worried about on offshore swimsQuote:

We were in perdido a few weeks ago and the water was crystal clear. You could see everything swimming in from deeper water. Probably saw 100 sharks over the time we were there. I don't think my 11 year old daughter will ever get in again
that's pretty awesome.Quote:

the thing folks don't realize is they are there on almost any beach just out of sight - and folks have been swimming with them for years but just didn't know itQuote:
