Cloud of Chevrons

Imagine clouds moving in and making the sun disappear – this is pretty much what happened to us on our dive in Pantai Sago in Tifore on our way back from Lembeh to Raja Ampat. But it was not a cloud which caused it: a gigantic school of Chevron Barracudas out of the sudden moved towards us, leaving us breathless considering the look and effect of this big silvery school of fish.

Thousands and thousands of Chevrons passed and circled us; a videographer’s or photographer’s dream came true! Three dives with this enormous and unique “cloud” of fish even got better when a massive school of Jackfish joined the fun. Definitely THE highlight of our trip!
