Natural Beauty of the Ocean

The fun in the ocean beneath the cold water is absolutely not meant for humans only. This thrilling article shows the beauty of the tiny and the gigantic fish in the ocean. This article "Annual 'Sardine Run' off South Africa an unforgettable thrill for divers" is written by Pete Thomas on beauty of the fish. Pete says Part of the dynamics of the marine food chain is the bait ball: thousands or even millions of small fish concentrated near the surface in defense against larger fish and mammals." Pete tells that the diving amid these swirling masses, among voracious predators, is an awesome thrill. The author says that when ask to a renowned shark expert and marine photographer, who was enjoying the time in South Africa by the ocean, this is what the fallow said: "It is unbelievable with sharks bashing into you, dolphins herding, then smashing the balls, and gannets attacking from above," and also that, "It's simply the most unreal spectacle you could ever imagine throwing yourself into, and at the same time it's amazingly beautiful." the author informs that, Chris and Monique Fallows run Apex Shark Expeditions in South Africa. According to the article once a year Chris and Monique conduct a "Sardine Run" expedition off the country's Wild Coast region, and also this year Chris Fallows provided the accompanying images to illustrate the uniqueness and surreal nature of these voyages.

Above is a natural beautiful image of sharks patrolled the perimeter of spherical bait concentrations that "hung in the water column like a chandelier in an earthquake." According to the author once emboldened, the apex predators delved into and out of the sardine schools. Pete tells us that Dolphins planned and executed assaults on prey they had corralled. Also, according to the articles Fallows describes, "The dolphins communicate constantly with high-pitched squeaks, orchestrating well-synchronized attacks on the shoal as they attack in high-speed volleys, sending sardines bursting out of the water".
Then the author goes on and talks about the "Gannets and other seabirds dive-bomb into the fray, plucking sardines from various depths, paying no attention to predators or divers." Fallows say that "All around you it is chaos." "Dolphin squadrons, shark battalions and kamikaze gannets all attack, creating an almost dizzying underwater ballet of piscine gluttony," Fallows says. Last, but not the least amazing creature, the whale, barring for its share. The author says that, "Chris and Monique Fallows have witnessed plenty of dramatic events running shark-diving expeditions. They've helped in the production of documentaries that have aired on networks such as National Geographic, BBC and Discovery Channel." Pete also says that Fallows is actually famous for his photography of leaping great whites. Then at the end Monique says, "What makes the Sardine Run experience so unique is that one is diving in the action and you feel you are part of the whole event. Most other nature experiences are watched from either a vehicle or a boat. This experience takes you right into the moment."
