At the end of the dive the dive master gave us a bottle of chum and we passed it around. There were so many fish that you could not see through them, they surrounded the bottle holder in a vortex, circling looking for food. This disoriented both Sarah and I as she held the bottle she sank about 20 feet and when I had the bottle I almost surfaced. It's like the fish pulled us. Next time I need to keep track of my depth when I don't have a visual reference. The vortex of fish were beautiful and sometimes would mistake fingers for food and gently nibble on them. Quite an amazing experience!
