Sipadan (2006): Barracudas

Like the famous school of jacks at Southpoint, Sipadan also has a famous school of chevron barracudas at (where else?) Barracuda Point. In the past, the school was so dense that it looked like a swirling tornado of barracudas. Sadly, the numbers have decreased such that the 'tornado' is rarely seen nowadays.
