Bobtail squid (Euprymna berryi) during night dive in ShanFu, Xiao LiuQiu

During night dives, bobtail squid can often be seen on the sand at the edge of the reef. They are not rare, but being so small they can easily be missed.

Xiao LiuQiu (小琉球) is located in the south 13km off the Taiwan coast. Ferries run regularly from DongGang port taking just 20min to reach the island, the port is a short 30min hop from Kaohsiung making it an easy get away.
