Squid

This year, we have encountered fewer Caribbean reef squid than in past years.  And the few that we have seen don't allow us to move close to them.  In past years, we have often been able to lure the squid to us, by waving our fingers.  These squid were about 8 inches long.  The first photo was taken in about 10 feet of water, above a mooring block.

Yesterday, at about 30 feet, I was able to get closer, and take the following photos. Squid are really graceful animals, a joy to watch as they propel themselves via the wavy action of their fins and jet propulsion.
