    Wow! Amazing Carl! Tim and I saw one near grandpa two years ago but that was only time in Nanoose area. You found the chimaera motherload!

    Great video!
    I saw them off Quadra Island,
    in Moulds Bay, about 25 years ago.
    Not as many as you had there, but a few!
    We called them Ratfish!
    Dive carefully, smile often!

      Thanks, yes, we call them Rat Fish too, or Ghost Sharks is another name too. We don't usually see this many in a school.

    Sweet! We went there Sunday and saw the school of smaller fish, but no ratfish unfortunately. Were they actually eating those smaller fish?

      Those smaller fish were everywhere... Brie and I saw 4 ratfish on Friday night, then Saturday afternoon after the club dive there was dozens and dozens of them. They did seem to be eating all of the smaller fish. Crazy how they all just came out of the depths like that. I got a couple of passes through them and they dispersed.

      @scubabc6701 very cool! Matteo and I saw the same smaller fish in huge schools at keel cove 2 weeks ago.

      @scubamax Cool, what were those smaller fish? They didn't look like herring or anchovy.
