This ship was built by an incredibly rich person and donated it to scientists so that they can focus on research instead of using a generous portion of their funding for a boat and lackluster equipment. How absolutely incredible is that?
@@torenatkinson1986 Haha seems like something he would do, or Paul Allen, but it seems to have been Ray Dalio who founded Bridgewater Associates. OceanX first had a ship called the MV Alucia, which was purchased by Ray Dalio and refitted to become the ship for OceanX (which he founded). That ship had been upgraded and refitted over the years and completely rebuilt in 2008. This ship, the OceanXplorer, was finished in 2010 for OceanX (Ray Dalio) and then completely rebuilt from the ground-up again recently to serve as the next generation of research vessel for the company. It should be noted, however, that it has a state-of-the-art media production studio for the purpose of making high-quality films at sea which was designed by none other than...you guessed it...James Cameron! 😁
I had a friend who was an under water welder. He was working in deep waters repairing a underwater car tunnel. He said the water was dark and very hard to see. Everyday, something kept brushing against him. So, he took his underwater camera to take a picture. What he got was a picture of a giant eye ball.
The welders arc attracts different creatures. This happens to dam divers in the Columbia River in the Pacific North West (PNW) of U.S. The tenders will place bets on newbie divers as to how long till they surface. When their welding it atracts Sturgion which get enormous, being bottom feeders like catfish they'll brush up against food to see what it is. Being phrhistoric fish they have rows of raised knobb like protrutions they use. Stories of guys trying to weld when something brushes up against them with a long rough row of agressive thumps, and they come shooting up out of the water. Lol
I love how the scientist is so enthusiastic. This is one characteristic of these professionals that I adore. They are curious, and passionate about everything. These are the people who will save humanity from itself.
Millions of people that do fishing and shrimping and deep sea diving are all like ok you think that's cool you need to live on the water the rest of your life to experience what we all have.

The waters are deep, cold, with tons of marine life to see. I also dove the Thisslegorn, one of many wrecks in the area, since it was within dive limits. What a great video which I enjoyed immensely and brought back great memories of an area that few ever get to visit.

Cops showed up to my house that night asking me where the shopping cart was and threatened to take me to jail on behalf of the grocery store. Pretty sure I’m banned from shopping at Fry’s.
Amazingly enough these scientists never bothered to mention how big this squid is. The only hint we got was that there are several species that are bigger than a human. Big human, a little human, how much bigger, how massive? A whole video and they don't even give you anything other than massive or huge. Quite an oversight. They could have researched the size of features or plates on the ship's hull and given us a real decent estimate.
It was a purpleback flying squid (Stenouteuthis oualaniensis) the usually grow to be anywhere from 1ft to 2ft in length. When the term human size is used to describe the size of something in the world of science they are saying it appeared to be approx. 5’ to 5.5’. So this particular squid was probably around 5ft which is HUGE for a Purpleback.
It was a lot of fun. I did that for about 6 years while going to College, but I got into bad habits like eating regularly and having a warm place to stay.

"massive creature"? some kind of size reference would have been nice other than massive. It could have been 50 feet or two feet, I have no idea and I'm sure many others feel the same way.

10 or 16 feet? The word "massive" is not the word I'd use. That's not massive,fools. When you guys find something 60ft or longer "massive" would be more appropriate.
@@josephlozano6705 That would be a bit smaller than a blue whale. Most things in the ocean are not that big. An orca is about 23 feet and I'd consider them pretty massive.
Definitely the best video capture by far. Even the search for the giant squid documentary you hardly saw the entire body. This is picture perfect and able to observe it swimming.
@@thebadterrorists5323 a quick google search shows the purple back flying squid to be MAX 32 inches where the average is less 20 inches. That’s not giant
If these squids are not known to frequent wrecks, but keep appearing when the ROV is at the wreck, would it be a reasonable conjecture that the squids are checking out the ROV? i.e. they are an artifact of the survey.
@@egayetsk 06:39 "There's no actual record of members of that Family aggregating on a structure like that, so if that's actually happening that would be really interesting. So, you are right to ask your question. The answer is the old chestnut "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", and we don't know. IDK, send a diver, lower a camera on a cable, drop a camera with a motion sensor?
Squidward going to pick his clarinet up from the clarinet repair shop. But seriously, the thing had arms and legs and I've watched enough UFO stuff to know they dig the sea. A lot.
As an ex-ROV Pilot I find this pretty normal fare. I’ve been lucky enough to see whales, whale sharks, oar fish and sun fish amongst others. A “wake in fright” moment was having the ROV attacked by a tiger shark while monitoring drilling ops: 03:00, feeling dozy and all you see is a massive mouth lined with teeth filling the monitor
The discovery is definitely interesting. But equally so is the video production, narration, and editing. Excellent work all around. ----- Thanks for the upload. ---
If not finding the wreck was special enough , the squid brightened the day and then having Mike know right away what it was...was icing on the cake . Congrats'
That is a giant squid. We have some like it but ours are bigger here in Baja Sur Mexico. They rise up from the depths at night to feed. Needless to say I won’t go in the water at night. Sometimes during they day they will come after you. We had one chasing our boat once. We call them Rojo Diablo (red devil). Scary animals.
Why do they call it "Rojo Diablo" (that can be translated as Devil Red) and not "Diablo Rojo"? This is how a Spanish speaker would translate "Red Devil".
Perhaps you are using the term "giant" generically but if not, the zoologist (starting at 03:50) disagrees with your identification explicitly. He believes it to be a Purple Backed Flying Squid, states that a population of that species is known to exist in the Red Sea, and outlines the morphological differences to the Giant Squid species.
. @Randy Diver ; are you sure you're not referring to the Humbolt squid? They are known to grow up to 10 feet long and will readily attack any unlucky squid fisherman that would fall overboard while in their feeding frenzy...during this time they are known to "flash" a red color, indicating excited aggression. Fierce creatures without a doubt, but not a giant squid nor it's equally large "cousin" the colossal squid...both which can layout at 30 to 50 feet long in total. They are also known to be strictly deep water dwellers, with only sick and dying specimens being seen at the surface...
When I saw the the headline “Giant”, I thought maybe we we’re in for a treat here. A sighting of a colossus squid, or a giant squid. Sadly it wasn't really a giant that we're led to believe. Still, it's good to see this elusive, fascinating creature in it's environment. Good luck with your work.
They said in the pinned comment that is about 10-15 feet long. That sounds pretty giant to me, especially since purple back flying squids don't typically get that big.
Food at that depth is usually pretty hard to find so for any deep sea creature to grow to that size is extraordinary and was a massive shock for us. However, to the general public it might not seem that "giant," I see where you're coming from.
So, "two-meters-in-length" massive, not "The Doors of his Face, the Lamps of his Mouth" massive. I don't mean to denigrate your find; this is a very intriguing sighting. I just question the use of the word "massive" to describe it.
clearly clickbait title "Giant Deep Sea Creature" = 6 foot long squid. It's cool how they are mapping the floor and how they found the shipwreck thats pretty cool but the had to thumbs down this stupid video about the squid.
Quite fulfilling to see women in these expeditions especially having a daughter as a deep sea diver. Congrats on your discovery & hope you have much success in the future.
Squid really are some of the freakiest looking creatures out there. This was a great update, and lead me into a 'Red Sea' reading frenzy as I knew little about it. It looks so desolate, from the land around it, and even the squid you witnessed seemed to be a single, lone predator, hoping for some food. Of course, it wouldn't be there if it didn't have food. Maybe it emptied out the galley after the ship went down, and it keeps hoping more food will appear.
@@warsane1 But like octopuses they grow fast and die quickly even giant varieties ... Typically they breed and die in a couple of years .. its one of the difficulties of studying their behaviour plus their brains or central nervous system is partially distributed throughout their bodies.🤔
You're not wrong there are areas like this in the Red Sea, however on all the dives we did at the site we saw evidence of very large cephs (either sightings or the ROV got shaken and covered in ink by something quite large) so there might be a good food source in and around the wreck.
@@OceanX Well they certainly are not herbivores 😉🐟🦐🦀🦞🐠 That wreck looks quite fresh so the colonization process is still to build up a productive community. Im wandering if theres any parralel s in their diurnal behaviour and feeding with those in the sea of Cortez. The floor of the Red sea is a geologically active spreading zone. Did you discover any thermal hot spots or vents. The petro chemical industries survey Geologists should have built up a reasonable Terrain and Geological maps over the decades but they do like to sit on stuff. Though they dont bother with areas that are likely to be active for obvious reasons.
Liked and shared. For those trying to read the CC, Mike is discussing whether the squid on camera is the "Giant Squid" (Architeuthis dux), or another species-in this case the Purple Back Flying Squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis). From the scale provided by the wreck, it is evident that this is one big animal. An impressive find. Thanks for posting. Off topic, in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, there are battles untold taking place in the abyssal zone, where giant and colossal squid fight for survival against the true monsters of the deep: 5-7m (PCL) Sleeper Sharks. Being consumed by a Sleeper shark while you are still alive is a lot like getting fed slowly into a wood chipper. Somniosis has dentition like a machine designed to make hamburger out of whole steers. It doesn't grab and chomp off ham size hunks like a Great White shark. Instead, it nibbles its prey to death with those inexorable teeth.
Hey OceanX, gorgeous video. I am truly at a loss for words on how beautiful both the ship and the cepholapod was. I wish I could see it with my own eyes but I know it won't happen. My dream is to become a marine biologist so seeing things like this, it just makes me excited and intrigued. Keep it up guys. Looking forward to more.
Do a paper? On an ordinary shipwreck that has undoubtedly been documented by someone some where. Or a species of encephlapods that are known to inhabit those waters? This is not groundbreaking research. It's nothing more than click bait that you and I both fell for.
I just appreciate your professionalism and pure dedication to the science. So many 'You Tube Scientists' are looking for that spectacular find, but you just followed the science and clearly approached this as 'wow, we just learned something new! Cool!' Not a hint of disappointment or let-down! You rock!
Looked similar to a Humboldt squid, except for the extended tentacles. IIRC Humboldts are considered to be a type of flying squid as well. Very interesting, thanks for sharing! 👍
I like how she tried to test his knowledge "do they have ink sacs" and the guys like "yeah" and she like "here he is inking" 😂😂😂😂 I like that cause just to make sure he knows his shit
Ha! It was more because the ones inking us stayed out of view of the cameras. Her question was wondering if the same one we saw clearly. on the video might have been the same species body-slamming + inking the ROV. good observation though ;)
This video was super interesting and I enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm from Mattie Rodrigue. But for goodness sake, a size estimate from within the video would have been greatly appreciated. Unless i missed it, and I did go back and watch for that a few times. Thank you for your video.
Wasn’t sure what they were talking about with “giant creature”. I was waiting for the real video - and it never came. That’s probably a 1 metre long body with 1.2m tail.
Cool vid , way over-hyped too . The largest squid that I am aware of is 13 meters ......so . I do like the vessel , I could use that on the Finger Lakes :)

@@vicmercd9136 Depends what field you want to be in. You could work, for example, in the galley, which means cooking school. Or if you want to be a scientist, they don't live on these boats usually but come out for short periods to do research.
I was like "please be a reaper leviathan..." Thank goodness I was disappointed, much better find and still kinda scary it's the same size as a human. Amazing work these scientists do.
That was fantastic and amazing ! My mind keeps going back to another area of interest though , and that is of the ship itself . I always want to know when it was lost , what were the circumstances and so on . I am a nosy nosy man . 👨
Said to be "giant." Why not give us an approximate size? It's a great video, though it's as if the headline on this post is being used by the producer as clickbait. Too bad. Great video, though.

3-5 meters or 10-16 feet
10 or 16 feet? The word "massive" is not the word I'd use. That's not massive,fools. When you guys find something 60ft or longer "massive" would be more appropriate.
@@josephlozano6705 That would be a bit smaller than a blue whale. Most things in the ocean are not that big.
An orca is about 23 feet and I'd consider them pretty massive.
Definitely the best video capture by far. Even the search for the giant squid documentary you hardly saw the entire body. This is picture perfect and able to observe it swimming.
That’s what impressed me most too. Not so much the size but the clarity and length of the video. Usually you just get a blurry fin or something.
Incredible technology on this vessel. This is what technology should be used for. This is great.
It's beautiful, I feel like I just watched a capture of the first alien captured on video. 😍
Having built an ROV myself and being a lover of underwater videography, this is a dream come true! Thanks for sharing, had to subscribe 😊
Funny seeing you here 😁 love your videos
Oooh, welcome! Ours is an Argus, name "Chimaera" and it just got a "mini-me" version installed.
Agreed. The wonders of mother earth continue providing us with wonder and beauty.
You can build an ROV? How deep does it go?
I am looking to get into ROV work with a friend of mine, impressive you made one! I’m going to subscribe so I can watch that!
That was beautiful watching the creature whilst the professor spoke about it. Perfectly learning conditions. Keep up the good work.
They were in “total shock” because of a squid. The End.
Yes and it was at least a meter long, that's gigantic, I'm in shock too, ( perhaps for another reason).
@@thebadterrorists5323 a quick google search shows the purple back flying squid to be MAX 32 inches where the average is less 20 inches. That’s not giant
@@keatonhatch6213 Yeah, but this one was much bigger.
If these squids are not known to frequent wrecks, but keep appearing when the ROV is at the wreck, would it be a reasonable conjecture that the squids are checking out the ROV?
i.e. they are an artifact of the survey.
How do we know they aren’t appearing at the wrecks in the absence of an ROV?
Q&A by using 10 number. How can you create a symbol of pyramid vertical and horizontal through the surface?
@@egayetsk 06:39 "There's no actual record of members of that Family aggregating on a structure like that, so if that's actually happening that would be really interesting.
So, you are right to ask your question. The answer is the old chestnut "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", and we don't know. IDK, send a diver, lower a camera on a cable, drop a camera with a motion sensor?
Squidward going to pick his clarinet up from the clarinet repair shop. But seriously, the thing had arms and legs and I've watched enough UFO stuff to know they dig the sea. A lot.
😂
As an ex-ROV Pilot I find this pretty normal fare.
I’ve been lucky enough to see whales, whale sharks, oar fish and sun fish amongst others.
A “wake in fright” moment was having the ROV attacked by a tiger shark while monitoring drilling ops: 03:00, feeling dozy and all you see is a massive mouth lined with teeth filling the monitor
The discovery is definitely interesting. But equally so is the video production, narration, and editing. Excellent work all around.
----- Thanks for the upload. ---
It wasn't a discovery, the species was already known and documented to live in the area
Except for the IRRitatING foreground music and over-zelous hype.
I don´t know.... to me the squid looks edited in, also somebody mention they´re working with James Cameron... cough
If not finding the wreck was special enough , the squid brightened the day and then having Mike know right away what it was...was icing on the cake . Congrats'
That is a giant squid. We have some like it but ours are bigger here in Baja Sur Mexico. They rise up from the depths at night to feed. Needless to say I won’t go in the water at night. Sometimes during they day they will come after you. We had one chasing our boat once. We call them Rojo Diablo (red devil). Scary animals.
Why do they call it "Rojo Diablo" (that can be translated as Devil Red) and not "Diablo Rojo"? This is how a Spanish speaker would translate "Red Devil".
Perhaps you are using the term "giant" generically but if not, the zoologist (starting at 03:50) disagrees with your identification explicitly. He believes it to be a Purple Backed Flying Squid, states that a population of that species is known to exist in the Red Sea, and outlines the morphological differences to the Giant Squid species.
. @Randy Diver ; are you sure you're not referring to the Humbolt squid?
They are known to grow up to 10 feet long and will readily attack any unlucky squid fisherman that would fall overboard while in their feeding frenzy...during this time they are known to "flash" a red color, indicating excited aggression.
Fierce creatures without a doubt, but not a giant squid nor it's equally large "cousin" the colossal squid...both which can layout at 30 to 50 feet long in total.
They are also known to be strictly deep water dwellers, with only sick and dying specimens being seen at the surface...
@@emiquetzalkoala4288 you are right
@@emiquetzalkoala4288 you are correct
When I saw the the headline “Giant”, I thought maybe we we’re in for a treat here. A sighting of a colossus squid, or a giant squid. Sadly it wasn't really a giant that we're led to believe. Still, it's good to see this elusive, fascinating creature in it's environment. Good luck with your work.
They said in the pinned comment that is about 10-15 feet long. That sounds pretty giant to me, especially since purple back flying squids don't typically get that big.
It's a squid. Therefore 2 meter squid is a giant.
By now it might have been eten by a spermwhale. Those like to snack on squids
Food at that depth is usually pretty hard to find so for any deep sea creature to grow to that size is extraordinary and was a massive shock for us. However, to the general public it might not seem that "giant," I see where you're coming from.
So, "two-meters-in-length" massive, not "The Doors of his Face, the Lamps of his Mouth" massive.
I don't mean to denigrate your find; this is a very intriguing sighting. I just question the use of the word "massive" to describe it.
clearly clickbait title "Giant Deep Sea Creature" = 6 foot long squid. It's cool how they are mapping the floor and how they found the shipwreck thats pretty cool but the had to thumbs down this stupid video about the squid.
Checked out your reference.. gonna read it now. Thanks!
Wow! That was really exciting! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I would love to be on the expedition looking for lost underwater ancient cities .
That's so cool! I loved that she was so enthusiastic about it!
Quite fulfilling to see women in
these expeditions especially having
a daughter as a deep sea diver. Congrats on your discovery & hope you have much success in the future.
very good share i love it so tnx dear
That is sooo cool! Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful and graceful creature.
Well, I'm certainly impressed by the size of the Not Giant Squld! I'm here to shout. Dang. 😮
So, what size was that squid? Incredible that they forgot this information!
I was hoping to see the kraken from pirates of the Caribbean
This video was excellent 👍
That squid was amazing!
Can you please make longer videos like this one more often? I love watching these kind of videos!
Squid really are some of the freakiest looking creatures out there. This was a great update, and lead me into a 'Red Sea' reading frenzy as I knew little about it. It looks so desolate, from
the land around it, and even the squid you witnessed seemed to be a single, lone predator, hoping for some food. Of course, it wouldn't be there if it didn't have food. Maybe it emptied out
the galley after the ship went down, and it keeps hoping more food will appear.
They are very smart. I wont eat them anymore myself
@@warsane1
But like octopuses they grow fast and die quickly even giant varieties ... Typically they breed and die in a couple of years .. its one of the difficulties of studying their behaviour plus their brains or central nervous system is partially distributed throughout their bodies.🤔
You're not wrong there are areas like this in the Red Sea, however on all the dives we did at the site we saw evidence of very large cephs (either sightings or the ROV got shaken and covered in ink by something quite large) so there might be a good food source in and around the wreck.
@@OceanX
Well they certainly are not herbivores 😉🐟🦐🦀🦞🐠
That wreck looks quite fresh so the colonization process is still to build up a productive community.
Im wandering if theres any parralel s in their diurnal behaviour and feeding with those in the sea of Cortez.
The floor of the Red sea is a geologically active spreading zone. Did you discover any thermal hot spots or vents.
The petro chemical industries survey Geologists should have built up a reasonable Terrain and Geological maps over the decades but they do like to sit on stuff. Though they dont bother with areas that are likely to be active for obvious reasons.
@@OceanX
Okay, I've got to ask; do you get freaked out when you get interactions like that? Or is it like, "wow, that was cool"?
What a find. Wonderful footage, well done and thank you for sharing!
Liked and shared.
For those trying to read the CC, Mike is discussing whether the squid on camera is the "Giant Squid" (Architeuthis dux), or another species-in this case the Purple Back Flying Squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis).
From the scale provided by the wreck, it is evident that this is one big animal. An impressive find. Thanks for posting.
Off topic, in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, there are battles untold taking place in the abyssal zone, where giant and colossal squid fight for survival against the true monsters of the deep: 5-7m (PCL) Sleeper Sharks. Being consumed by a Sleeper shark while you are still alive is a lot like getting fed slowly into a wood chipper. Somniosis has dentition like a machine designed to make hamburger out of whole steers. It doesn't grab and chomp off ham size hunks like a Great White shark. Instead, it nibbles its prey to death with those inexorable teeth.
A dance of 1000 knives.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_sleeper_shark
Colossal Squid and Giant Squid live in different waters.
@@Broken-Silencer Yep. And so do Somniosis.
Hey OceanX, gorgeous video. I am truly at a loss for words on how beautiful both the ship and the cepholapod was. I wish I could see it with my own eyes but I know it won't happen.
My dream is to become a marine biologist so seeing things like this, it just makes me excited and intrigued. Keep it up guys. Looking forward to more.
This kind of research is what gets me stoked for more discoveries💛great inspiration!
How is seeing a squid in the ocean amazing. We’ve been finding huge squids forever.
Imagine for one moment that we humans had never SEEN a squid prior to this footage. They are amazingly STRANGE.
Wonderful footage! Thanks for sharing!
There's plenty of squid footage from natgeo and other divers and researchers
I can’t be sure, but I think everyone was ‘frozen in absolute shock’
Looks like someone needs to do a "paper", and add this information to the scientific record. You go girl!
Do a paper? On an ordinary shipwreck that has undoubtedly been documented by someone some where. Or a species of encephlapods that are known to inhabit those waters? This is not groundbreaking research. It's nothing more than click bait that you and I both fell for.
I just appreciate your professionalism and pure dedication to the science. So many 'You Tube Scientists' are looking for that spectacular find, but you just followed the science and clearly approached this as 'wow, we just learned something new! Cool!' Not a hint of disappointment or let-down! You rock!
her: what is it??
me: it's a squid
XD all jokes aside, a fascinating creature! and a cool story, thanks for the video, yall are great 👍
Looked similar to a Humboldt squid, except for the extended tentacles. IIRC Humboldts are considered to be a type of flying squid as well. Very interesting, thanks for sharing! 👍
Deep sea creatures are always fascinating........
They really are. And they have no idea what RUclips is.
WOW so Kool 🤗💯🙏🏼 Thank You for sharing this whole expedition is quite a venture!!! So exciting.
Fun Fact: “Squiddley Diddley” was actually an octopus.
What about Squidward?
Lol 👍😂
My life is complete!
Seriously? That's pretty funny. Dude went on and on about purple flying squids...
Squid. Definitely.
That was the smallest squid ever recorded. Truly wonderful
I like how she tried to test his knowledge "do they have ink sacs" and the guys like "yeah" and she like "here he is inking" 😂😂😂😂 I like that cause just to make sure he knows his shit
Ha! It was more because the ones inking us stayed out of view of the cameras. Her question was wondering if the same one we saw clearly. on the video might have been the same species body-slamming + inking the ROV. good observation though ;)
If anyone knows his Squids it’s Mike Vecchione, guys the squid goat

What a beautiful creature. Thank you for sharing science with everyday people.
You are so so welcome 🦑
Fantastic catch on the ROV guys!
Thank you so much for posting :)
This video was super interesting and I enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm from Mattie Rodrigue.
But for goodness sake, a size estimate from within the video would have been greatly appreciated. Unless i missed it, and I did go back and watch for that a few times.
Thank you for your video.
They did a reply to someone. Estimate was 3-5 meters in length. I question that, but thats what they said.
@@brandoncooke6564 Thanks
How excited they all were!. To me, the first sighting kinda of looked like an alien. The expert guy was so cool & laid back about the whole thing.
Wasn’t sure what they were talking about with “giant creature”. I was waiting for the real video - and it never came. That’s probably a 1 metre long body with 1.2m tail.
Thanks to you and all the project members for bringing this to us. So exciting.
Cool vid , way over-hyped too . The largest squid that I am aware of is 13 meters ......so . I do like the vessel , I could use that on the Finger Lakes :)
So excited for you all! Thank you!
Love to See You Guys and Gals Doing what i did for thirty Years KEEP GOING
I HOPE I CAN DO THE SAME ONE DAY!!
The lighting is really eerie, semi shiny skin...love it!
Whats beautiful is the humans reacting to what no others ever could imagine.
Speak for yourself, my imagination works fine and has already done exactly what you claim can't.
You guys should re investigate the Baltic sea anomaly! What if it’s a ufo or something? 🛸
That's a different group with a very similar name!
Squid : exists.
Marine proffesionals: We were SHOCKED!
Glad I’m not the only one that thinks this way.
This is a great post! I'm gonna share it with many people.
She just keep saying “this massive creature ” without any size reference . It doesn’t look all that massive , just on the larger side .
I agree it doesn't look that big.
I'd say they really want to believe they has seen something exceptional, so they say it was huuuge.
Classic Click Bait.
Its over 6ft
Yes, we missed that in all the commotion. Estimate is 3-5 meters or 10-16 feet. Apologies!

“Absolutely not a Giant Squid” -the zoologist expert.
Click bait title for the record.
Decent video though.
There is a species of squid referred to as "a giant squid". All he was saying is that this isn't a giant squid. It's big in size tho.
I was like "please be a reaper leviathan..."
Thank goodness I was disappointed, much better find and still kinda scary it's the same size as a human. Amazing work these scientists do.
That was fantastic and amazing ! My mind keeps going back to another area of interest though , and that is of the ship itself . I always want to know when it was lost , what were the circumstances and so on . I am a nosy nosy man . 👨
The ship sunk in 2011 on it's way to Egypt. One death was reported.

@@gregoryfranklin5108 You're welcome. 👍
Yum! Calimari!
Very interesting and informative. Thanx so much. The squid doesnt appear so massive to me. In fact it looks quite small.
It's definitely not as big as the giant or colossal squids. We think it was up to 16 feet.
I wish that was in the video. I feel like maybe we were left guessing at how big it actually is. Next to the ship it looks kinda small
In a crazy world, the water exploids wonder for our hearts to ponder. Ty
Said to be "giant." Why not give us an approximate size? It's a great video, though it's as if the headline on this post is being used by the producer as clickbait. Too bad. Great video, though.
You said it.
