I read in another forum about divers in Bonaire encountering and even swimming through huge bait balls being chased by Tarpon. And then someone posted that they had the same experience in the keys. My eyes immediately lit up! I do two or three dive trips a year and always do at least one of them in Key Largo.
The poster didn't say which key, site or time of year. I replied I had never seen or even read about such an encounter in the keys. Anyone diving Key Largo have this encounter. Yeah, I've seen pretty large schools but never 50' wide bait balls.
Am I missing out? If this happens, is it rare? The poster on that other site said it happened to him in 6 ft. of water.
