Back in February this year, I first chanced upon a tiny school of jacks at Tulamben Drop Off, the volcanic wall dive site.
Little did I know they’d claim this volcanic cliff as their permanent home.

Over the past six months, the school has visibly grown bigger by the day.
Now they swirl into a massive silvery-blue bait ball that blots out the sunlight.
The moment you submerge, you’re wrapped in surging waves of fish—utterly speechless at the sheer spectacle.

From a handful of fish to a full-blown jack storm, I’ve witnessed these creatures settle and thrive in these waters firsthand.

My camera storage is filled with footage; every single frame is too precious to cut—not a single redundant shot exists.
