We have had the opportunity to see many wonderful things underwater.... some of them many times.
One of my favorite recurring sights is schooling fish.
They say what we see now pales in comparison.... to what divers saw years ago.
But groups of fish, like this school of Horse-eye Jacks.... get my heart pumping every time I see them.
On one trip to Bonaire we were getting in to dive under the Salt Pier.... on a whim I decided to back-roll off a pile of concrete blocks at the shore line.
I landed in the middle of a what I can only describe as a "cloud" of very small bait fish.... that were being hunted by a group of Jacks.
All that I could see, in every direction, was a mass of flashing silver shapes.... wheeling and turning as they fled for their lives.
