The second night dive was instantly interesting. As soon as we descended and got to the base of the shallow bay we were moored in, I noticed a something making subtle movements. It was a small squid tracking a tiny fish as its prey. It made a lightning quick strike and caught the fish. I managed to start a video as it was feeding on the fish.
