Scuba Diving in Bait Balls, Cocos Islands

This site is famous for the unusual phenomenen when small bait fish forms spiraling circles, resembling a silver bait ball in attempt to confuse the predators. In a bait ball you can find different bait fish and different hunters. Sometimes the bait fish will be trapped between the surface and the hunters below. This is when the boobies and frigate birds will join the feast. These special events can happen anywhere and at anytime.
