Off the western coast of California and Mexico, vicious swarms of squid have recently attacked divers! The Humboldt squid, also known as red devils, are normally active at depths far below the surface. However, the squid have started swimming closer to the surface of late, and swarms of the aggressive cephalopods have attacked divers. While there haven’t been any fatalities as of yet, several divers have reported horror stories of being attacked by a squid, which attaches itself to their scuba tank or diver’s mask, and attempts to pull them under. While the animals are aggressive, its their hunger that drives them to such behavior. Once finding an object is inedible, in general, the squid will give up their attack.
Many divers have fled the water to avoid being attacked by the squid, which seem to accumulate near the surface in larger numbers during the nighttime hours. However, some brave divers continue to enter the water for a once in a lifetime experience. If you are one of those adventurous souls, be sure to equip yourself with diving knives.
