I’ve always thought of the gulf as fairly shallow when, in fact, it may be up to more than two miles deep in the southwest off Mexico. This giant squid, apparently of a species family called Magnapinna, with elbow-like tentacles, was videotaped by a Shell Oil company robot vehicle near a drilling site at about a mile and half below the gulf’s surface. Worth a look. A still photo here of the unknown species, taken off Hawaii, shows that they do get around.
