Squid Roughs Up San Diego Diver

Ever since the squid started washing up on San Diego beaches over the past week, scuba divers have been heading out to get a closer look. But Shanda Magill got a much closer look than she wanted. She went for a night dive on Sunday and got ambushed by a Humboldt squid. It grabbed her hose and pulled her down. Yikes.

Biologists said they’re seeing more of these off Southern California in recent years like the ones that washed up on La Jolla beaches Saturday while spectators tried to save them. They say the scuba divers should be more cautious.
