This swirl of marine life looks more like the mouth of a giant organism devouring the diver, than a school of sardines. Surrealism in nature.

Photo shooting with the sardines is such an amazing experience, they can create incredible unique forms. I love how in this photo, the sardines are welcoming the freediver or swallowing it ( depends how you see it)
