Isla del Coco, or Cocos Island is a National Park off the shore of Costa
Rica. The marine ecosystem is locked in a time-capsule and everything is
huge; from the underwater currents to the biodensity of marine life. In
this photo, I encountered a 25 meter giant school of horse-eyed jack fish.
As I approached, a predator must have spooked the school from the
other side. The massive school suddenly swam towards me and before I
knew it, I was engulfed in this storm of silvery fish.
