Jeff , a marine scientist , said : 'We arrived in Cabo Pulmo , a tiny town made up of dirt roads with a population right around 100 , not really sure what to expect , but had heard some pretty amazing stories about the place . ' 'We were swimming along and saw a small band of Jacks heading away from us , so we followed them , ' he explained . 'That small band slowly grew bigger and bigger , until out of the distance , this massive fish tornado appeared . ' I was awe-struck . I had never seen anything like that before in my life . ' Tori 's husband Jeff , a marine scientist , was on hand to capture the moment using his underwater camera . He added : 'It was such a productive ecosystem , with not only a large quantity of fish , but a wide diversity of organisms as well . ' I believe this is what our oceans should look like , this is why I was I was drawn to make this image . ' But Jeff explained that Cabo Pulmo had n't always been like this .
