A video showing a very strange and unknown giant sea creature found in Ticao Island, Masbate has caught the attention of internet users. The divers who had a close encounter with the mysterious underwater creature believed that it was pyrosome(1).

The interesting clip triggered a debate in Youtube whether the giant underwater creature is a pyrosome or simply a collection of huge egg mass from a diamond-shaped squid. The discussion was even intensified on Facebook where users cited that the interesting floating body shouldn't be considered an egg mass until it has been proven by experts.

The author of the video, however, decided to change the Youtube description and mentioned that the most acceptable explanation of it is the theory of egg mass from a diamond-shaped squid.

Give us your opinion after watching the controversial video.

These divers are lucky enough to have a close encounter of the unknown giant sea creature in Ticao Island, Masbate. I would love to have the same experience if I would be given a chance to visit the diving spot.
