    On an overnight shift doing ecological surveys in the Red Sea, an #OceanX technician discovers an anomaly on the seafloor. Thinking that could either be "a rock or a wreck," the team of the ship deploys the #deepsea instruments to check it out, only to make an even more intriguing #ocean discovery than they expected: a "giant" squid of between 3-5 meters (10-16 feet).

      @@torenatkinson1986 Haha seems like something he would do, or Paul Allen, but it seems to have been Ray Dalio who founded Bridgewater Associates. OceanX first had a ship called the MV Alucia, which was purchased by Ray Dalio and refitted to become the ship for OceanX (which he founded). That ship had been upgraded and refitted over the years and completely rebuilt in 2008.
      This ship, the OceanXplorer, was finished in 2010 for OceanX (Ray Dalio) and then completely rebuilt from the ground-up again recently to serve as the next generation of research vessel for the company.
      It should be noted, however, that it has a state-of-the-art media production studio for the purpose of making high-quality films at sea which was designed by none other than...you guessed it...James Cameron! 😁

We drove to her neighborhood, set the shopping cart down just outside the passenger door, rolled down the window and my boy, Skeeter, held onto the cart as I punched the gas. She lived in a house right on the corner of the street, so we drove straight towards the house, got up to about 30-35mph and let the cart fly into her front yard as we made a left hand turn. It wasn’t out of hate or anger, just stupid high school kids thinking they were pulling a funny prank.

    Amazingly enough these scientists never bothered to mention how big this squid is. The only hint we got was that there are several species that are bigger than a human. Big human, a little human, how much bigger, how massive? A whole video and they don't even give you anything other than massive or huge. Quite an oversight. They could have researched the size of features or plates on the ship's hull and given us a real decent estimate.

      It was a purpleback flying squid (Stenouteuthis oualaniensis) the usually grow to be anywhere from 1ft to 2ft in length. When the term human size is used to describe the size of something in the world of science they are saying it appeared to be approx. 5’ to 5.5’. So this particular squid was probably around 5ft which is HUGE for a Purpleback.

    I dove the Red Sea from Eilat in Israel, down to Nueba, Dahab, and Sharm el Sheik, from 1988-91 and again from 1995-98. Every dive I did was an adventure with something new to see. The waters are deep, cold, with tons of marine life to see. I also dove the Thisslegorn, one of many wrecks in the area, since it was within dive limits. What a great video which I enjoyed immensely and brought back great memories of an area that few ever get to visit.

    My favorite cephalopod is the nautilus, they are so ancient. They may be small but, they are fascinating because their lineage is so old. Second favorite would have the be its royal highness the octopus, because the can change color when ever it needs to or feels threatened in any way. It can get through any hole as long as its beak can pass through it. They're truly masters of entrigue, disguise, escape , evasion in so much it's easy to think someone dropped them off here at some point stranding the alien creature.

      Perhaps you are using the term "giant" generically but if not, the zoologist (starting at 03:50) disagrees with your identification explicitly. He believes it to be a Purple Backed Flying Squid, states that a population of that species is known to exist in the Red Sea, and outlines the morphological differences to the Giant Squid species.

      Fierce creatures without a doubt, but not a giant squid nor it's equally large "cousin" the colossal squid...both which can layout at 30 to 50 feet long in total.
      They are also known to be strictly deep water dwellers, with only sick and dying specimens being seen at the surface...

    Squid really are some of the freakiest looking creatures out there. This was a great update, and lead me into a 'Red Sea' reading frenzy as I knew little about it. It looks so desolate, from
    the land around it, and even the squid you witnessed seemed to be a single, lone predator, hoping for some food. Of course, it wouldn't be there if it didn't have food. Maybe it emptied out
    the galley after the ship went down, and it keeps hoping more food will appear.

    For those trying to read the CC, Mike is discussing whether the squid on camera is the "Giant Squid" (Architeuthis dux), or another species-in this case the Purple Back Flying Squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis).
    From the scale provided by the wreck, it is evident that this is one big animal. An impressive find. Thanks for posting.
    Off topic, in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, there are battles untold taking place in the abyssal zone, where giant and colossal squid fight for survival against the true monsters of the deep: 5-7m (PCL) Sleeper Sharks. Being consumed by a Sleeper shark while you are still alive is a lot like getting fed slowly into a wood chipper. Somniosis has dentition like a machine designed to make hamburger out of whole steers. It doesn't grab and chomp off ham size hunks like a Great White shark. Instead, it nibbles its prey to death with those inexorable teeth.

    How excited they all were!. To me, the first sighting kinda of looked like an alien. The expert guy was so cool & laid back about the whole thing.

    This sort of thing is the closest people can get to serving on the Starship Enterprise. Wonderful clip!
