Underwater Photography by Derek Tarr

photo of schooling fish bigeye trevally Caranx sexfasciatus

School of Bigeye Trevally

This photograph was taken while swimming inside a school of circling Bigeye trevally (Caranx sexfasciatus).  I spent nearly an hour in the same spot photographing the beautiful silver patterns of these fish against the deep blue background of clear water.  To see what this scene looked like from the outside, look at the photo Diver with Schooling Jacks.

Photographed at Barracuda Point off the shore of Mary Island in the Solomon Islands.
