"Flight of Fancy"

Descending during a night dive at Cirkewwa Malta I found myself in a group of about 60 squid shooting past me in all directions, leaving behind a thick cloud of ink. This guy remained beside me and did not leave with the rest. I took some quick shots thinking that it would not be long before he also vanished into the darkness, but curiously he kept playing with me posing in the torch light and letting me take shot after shot.

In the end it was me who had to part since I was running low on air and my computer was buzzing away and reluctantly I had to end this fascinating encounter.
