Movement of cephalopodes especially squid is with water propulsion mechanism

Explanation:

Squid moves with the help of fins initially. At the same time it takes water in its mantle cavity. This water from mantle cavity is forced out through its siphon. When water is forced out through siphon like jet propulsion squid moves in opposite direction. It depends how forcefully water from siphon is forced out.
