Photographer Octavio Aburto captured this incredible image titled "David and Goliath." Here's a video showing the "fish tornado" he experienced that day: http://www.petapixel.com/2012/12/19/david-and-goliath-a-photo-and-video-of-an-underwater-tornado-of-fish/

Agree looks like a Bigeye Jack to me. I'd be more worried about Tuna, large Billfish or sharks lol.

Definitely Jacks... while cool to experience I also think I'd need to turn my wet suit inside out afterwards and spray it out. I would not want to get run into by one of those guys that didn't see ya... or 10 that didn't see ya! wheewwww.... great pic

The whale shot is by Brian Skerry. The guy on the ground is Mauricio Handler. He said the eye of the whale was incredible and the animal very calm and inquisitive.
This is my daughter...

I do a lot of underwater photography. This was a trip to Isla Mujeres Mex. where the Whale Sharks congregate once a year. My daughter tagged along! She was my spotter.
