Underwater footage has revealed the terrifying moment two divers came face-to-face with a ginormous squid.
Yosuke Tanaka and his wife Miki were diving off the western coast of Japan on January 6 when the 8ft monster spooked them.
Mr Tanaka wrote about the ordeal on his blog Takeno Diving and explained that he was first contacted by a ferryman friend who had spotted the creature.
