The team from the research vessel REV Ocean was diving in the waters outside Orsta, Norway, when they stumbled across the enormous egg. The egg contains hundreds of thousands of baby squid and was captured in a stunning video by one of the divers, Ronald Raasch. It was floating about 17 metres below the surface and is believed to be a 10-armed squid’s egg sac. Mr Raasch said: “As an active diver that collects observations of squids and octopuses, I had no doubt what it was that I was seeing. Mr Raasch added: “I believe there are plenty of such balls out there, but divers usually swim close to the ground or the surface.
