An uncomfortably huge school of Northern Anchovy made for quite the showing off Scripps Pier in La Jolla (San Diego, California). Scientists at the institute — an institute very well known for its research and studies in oceanography, we might add — hadn’t seen such an exhibition in three decades, and were in the dark on why they moved to such shallow waters. But that didn’t stop students from jumping in the water and swimming into the middle of the fish, which presented a seemingly magnetic push of sorts in the way of a reverse Etch-a-Sketch. However you see it, that was damn cool.
And how about that moment at the 1:55 mark when one of the students dives into the confusion only to reveal a shark roaming the bottom? Not necessarily what you want to reveal as a “surprise” when splashing around…
