A visit from a pair of squid



This morning, on our dive we encountered 2 pair of squid (8 to 10 inches long). One pair was especially friendly, and curious about us, approaching within 6 inches. The other pair wasn't the least bit interested in us. Caribbean reef squid are fascinating to watch because they move like aquatic ballerinas and have large, beautiful eyes. Squid can change colors in an instant, which is a means of communication with their partner.
