School of Fusillers

I love doing dives around 4pm in Marsa Shagra. That’s the time where the big schools of fusiliers seem to come out. Sometimes, you are completely surrounded by a complete wall of these fish. On this particular day, the schools were very dense. I shot several pictures. In this one, you can see how schooling behaviour can really confuse a predator as the fish swim so closely together that it is difficult to single out individuals.
