Manta Ray swimming above me
This was totally crazy. When I was swimming along at about 90 feet below the surface, I saw this huge dark shadow above me, which I assumed was a boat. Then, as I came up a bit, I realized whatever it was was actually in the water, so then I thought it must be some mythologically huge whale shark or something. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was an incredbily dense and stationary school of fish. Salemas, to be exact. Maybe they do that to throw off predators, who might think that there's a gigantic creature in the water...

I really like this shot looking up at the other divers with all the layers of different fish between me and the surface. Kinda cool, dontcha think?
