Day two at Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and we were looking for big fish like whale sharks. We didn’t find any big animals but we observed a lot of schooling fish.

Normally schooling fish either ignore me or they swim away. Today this school of Blackfin Barracuda swam towards me which was quite thrilling.
