Very cool. So what is the reason for them schooling like that? They don't seem to be hunting, just passing the time?

Were they thinking, "You are the meal?"

Steve, about 15 yrs ago (seems like a former life) a dive buddy of mine and I went to Roatan, AKA the bay islands, Honduras. We didn't see the reef sharks but did swim with some some dolphins in a controlled "tank". Had some good times. Nice reef to dive on, great visibility and stayed in some "grass huts" out on the key (also called cay). I've since given up diving but have some good memories. Thanks for sharing.
