For you fellow fans of creatures we know little about:

Am i not the only one thinking people are crazy to go in a small submersible to witness such a crazy animal?

I mean, the humbolts are aggressive squids, and this is basically a humbolt on steroids.

Generally my feeling too, but i completely draw the line and going to look for a creature in a 10ft sub that fights sperm whales, is 5 times the size of the sub, has rings of sharp teeth on numerous suction cups with many tentacles and a large beak.

But, that said I'm glad there are people crazy enough to do it. Otherwise that squid would still be a mystery that we'd only understand from finding remains and opening up beached sperm whales.

That was the first expedition, but they gave up when we found Godzilla first and gave it a reality tv show

well that's the thing, the deep sea is mostly unexplored. We're only seeing the things that come up the upper areas, are small enough to be captured by nets/lines, or have been caught by the few cameras sent to the deep.

Granted, we've known the giant squid existed for years, its just difficult to capture on film. I think for the massive creatures like that, they can't hide their existence because the corpses will eventually show up on land.

If the submarine was in good working order I would do it! and I would eat beans, salsa, and carbonated Dr. Pepper before we deployed to make it an infamous trip. I break the silence in "Silent Service."

:salute: :evil4:

They wouldn't go in to the water without a good idea of what they're doing. However, I wouldn't want to be in a submersible smaller than the a critter like that lol:prayer:
