The Giant Squids of Baja or commonly known as the Humboldt Squid can now be seen up close via a unique tether diving system. The Red Demon Squid, an apex predator, can reach the size of 7 Feet and weigh over 150 pounds and has a very bad reputation among local fishermen. Travelers craving encounters with the world's weirdest wildlife need not look further than the red demon squid and is the newest thrill for seekers of high-adrenalin diving adventures.The animal has three hearts, blue blood, eight arms, two tentacles and 70,000 teeth," says Scott Cassell, team leader for Sea Wolves. "Even though you are wearing chain mail armor, its beak can snap a hand, arm or foot off if you're not careful. Diving with the giant squid is not for novices."
The recent videos in Discovery & History Channels on the red demon squid was probably the inspiration for the legendary Kraken and the Giant Squid (Archituthis). The thrill of diving with this living monster will be an experience of a lifetime.
