[pablhiin]

Wooow How are them that fast!!?? O.o

[wolfneck]

Thank you for sharing! A great moment in time caught on film.

[solvblank1]

Take some weeks at kuredu and your chanse is big to see this. Go to the jety with the seavillas on lov tide.

[FishingtheSkyxd]

this is really cool; i would've loved to see this in real life :)

[solvblank1]

Its Bluefin Trevallys. I was there in july and they was doing the same thing. Im going back in march to fish.And bluefins are my main target

[tripleox]

@solvblank1 Thanks for identifying them! :) There's been numerous ideas as to what has attacked the shoal.

[madman9900]

0:41 sneaky bastard!!

[Skebla123]

the part at 0:32 reminds me of Eddie Izzard's piratte fish :D

[KKGRIND]

Nice video. I'm actually working in this hotel right now..might look out for more of this.

[italbello6t9]

Fish, fish, everywhere

Nor any bite to eat.

[MrTrizz]

SO MANY FISH, YET SO HARD TO CATCH!

[MikeRat77]

0:42 "What the fuck is going on up in here...?"

[SAD90901]

the video of the year ,

[tripleox]

@SAD90901 Wow, big statement. Thanks :)

[jwsb]

Thoe are bonefish not sharkss!

[tripleox]

@jwsb Thanks, another one to add to the fish ID list. Certainly a lot more images on Google for "bonefish maldives"

[Chobran]

تقهر ودي اجيب شبكة و أصيدهم كلهم

[Janottaa]

[omgdampbarn]

[XSm0k3X]

Standard ZvT

[SirAlfredSourcock]

Man, those things are fast.

[Sepharite]

Wow, it's like all the fishes are controlled by one.

[naktacs]

EPIC HERON FAIL XD! LOLOOLOL

...

[CodingCypher]

holy shit they can swim fast o_0

[Shadapaga]

those are definitly way too small to be black tip reef sharks they are just predatory fish

[tripleox]

@Shadapaga You are right. Another commenter identified them as Jacks.

[Shadapaga]

@tripleox Jacks is a very vague typology, and i wouldnt guess these are jacks. These are Pacific Tarpon if i had to guess no other fish in the world is that size and moves like that.

[tripleox]

@Shadapaga Thanks for the input. I did a fair bit of snorkelling during our stay on Kuredu and there were little groups that looked like Pacific Tarpons. :)

[Shadapaga]

@tripleox ive never been to the maldives, you people are bless't, i scuba dive alot and im fascinated by the ocean thats why i commented, i am going abroad to study in india next year and i will do everything in my power to make it to maldives for the summer, i sincerely hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and congrats on seeing a black tip reef shark from your other video ive got 100s of dives in the caribbean and have only seen some nurse sharks. peacee

[tripleox]

@Shadapaga Good luck! Do everything you can to get there. It's amazing :)

[Apollo2112x1]

It's a good thing that humans don't have to do anything close to what the fish do to survive.

A class of 30 kids will take 10 minutes to get into an alphabetical line. Needless to say, we'd be shark bait.

[kaoshammer50]

How did the heron fail - it appears he caught the one straggler fish, which is what he was going for.

[tripleox]

@kaoshammer50 Go full screen and step/pause it. You can just about see it escape at the last second.

[Fongfongmc]

damn those sharks can move

[michaelr0x0rs]

Man how fast were those sharks going at :28 ? You could see a trail behind them.

[WorldScott]

Wow that is some awesome footage there around :30 ! super cool!

[DonerciHussam]

Just eat the bird. lol

[wx3jr]

This is a phenomenon known as self organization.

[kevin71127]

0:39 *catches fish* Haters gonna hate

[PottymouthStudios]

Maybe the bird should teach the sharks how to fish.

[YouCanCallMeCharlz]

the bird's like "that's nothing, watch this shit."

[alrightmichelle]

THROW SUM NIGGERS SIN THERE LOL

[XNo1XLuvzXMeX]

Love it, very good footage. I love seeing shoals of fish do this. They're swarming around the sharks in order to confuse them so that the majority can survive by ensuring that there are no stragglers :P like the poor little one that was almost heron food. I would love to see this.. The water is so clear. it must have been an amazing trip.

[tripleox]

@XNo1XLuvzXMeX Thanks for the comment. The Maldives is an amazing place. Would love to return one day, but it's a whole lot of money.

[nkp007]

the bird is like wtf

[suicidekk]

awesome footage!!

[cosi66]

lol..the bird

[daveheron]

what a shame of a cousin...

[PrizonierInTrafic]

FOREVER ALONE

[TimMc333]

I thought the heron was going to get taken by a shark. :P

[mauijaystar]

Those aren't blacktips, they're jacks.

[tripleox]

@mauijaystar Really? It's hard to see to see what there are. Very quick!

[mauijaystar]

@tripleox Yup. They're blacktips at first, then the jacks join them from under the pier. I live in the Pacific, I know jacks (and blacktips). I've also swum through schools of mullet that the jacks are working in that same way: watch them rush the school in a group. The sharks move very differently. Google 'jacks' or 'blue trevally' on youtube and get a better look at how they move.

Aloha.

[tripleox]

@mauijaystar Cool thanks for the ID. I'll update the title. :)

[Tankballer]

Reminds me of Michael Chrichton's book Prey

[rucerial]

amazing footage.

[1971ojoalparche1971]

Some people don't pay much attention to the simpler things like this, and some people just don't care. I could watch something like this all day.

[tripleox]

@1971ojoalparche1971 Too true.

[tripleox]

@1971ojoalparche1971 I couldn't agree more.

[skaterfan1231]

:O

[lllzehcnaslll]

Marco !! Polo !! .. Marco !! Polo !! Marco !!

[DonaldTakeTwo]

Looks to me like the heron got one...

[tripleox]

@DonaldTakeTwo You can just about see it dart back up. Try pausing it. Vimeo is sharper too. :)

[elcampestrevoraz]

you are so lucky man, beautiful nature :)

[tripleox]

@elcampestrevoraz Thanks :) Once in a lifetime... unless I win the lottery or save up for 6 years for one holiday.

[Gitsie007]

WOW!!!

[tripleox]

@Gitsie007 :)

[3lucci]

سبحان الله

It's really weird

thanx

[MrSkosky]

Ya, thats what fish do when they're attacked by bigger fish, they move out of the way.  Wow!!!

[tripleox]

@MrSkosky They certainly did! Love the blacktip sharks

[swindejr]

Awesome fish swarm video!

[tripleox]

Thanks swinny ;)
