This is way cool. I thought these were filmed before. I remember seeing a show with people filming and even diving with the giant squid??? Could be wrong though. Nevertheless, way cool.

Haven't looked at the links yet, but the Giant squid (20-60' long) had not even been seen alive, let alone filmed... Or so I had thought. This would be really awesome!

I think these are Humbolts? 4-6' long? Big, but not the giant?

I think you are correct. The giant squid are 13m long, just under 40 feet. I don't think swimming around with them would be such a good idea.

Got it, you are probably right on the differences.

Come on, it would be like diving with a stubby squid. Just a little bigger :)
