Years ago, when I was in the Maldives and scuba diving, I saw something I still cant forget. I was at the end of the reef where it goes deeper into the abyss. In the blink of an eye a huge school of some (ca. 20cm sized) fish swam by me so fast that I could barely see them. It left me startled. Like in a second they were gone. They were silver. It was like a very powerful lightning of fish which my brain could barely even register.

What species could they have been? Has anyone experienced this too?

Probably one of my coolest memories.
