Couldn't really see what was strange about this squid on this night dive but shot it anyway as it was slower moving than most. I found out later it was because it was feeding.

This was in April at SW Pinnacle in Gulf of Thai'. I got lucky. I was teaching Advanced OW doing a double dive at the same site. The whale shark appeared at the end of dive 1 which I didn't dive. So in I hopped and had the whole experience to myself.
