Tony,

Looking quickly through some of the literature on cephalopods, the collective terms “shoal” and “school” mentioned above appear to be the most widely utilized and accepted.

I am always struck by how expressive these critters can be when encountered by divers/photographers.

Hey T,
Nice shot! I believe the correct collective noun is shoal…but I kinda like the idea of a jet or squirt of squid!

According to The Cephalopod Page, it is “a school of squid”:
