You can get close enough to them. Some areas have so many yahoos chucking spears at them, they are a bit more wary.

They are, but not as much as leopard sharks. If you don't make sudden sounds or movements, sometimes you can get near them. If I control my exhale so it does not have a sudden "punch" then I can get closer. Works well for many types of fish, and allows closer/better videoing. Look at the school at 1:45 in the video. I was not paying attention to my exhale and this was as close as I could get, probably about 20-30 feet.
I lost the school at one point when I was paying attention to the camera and banged a rock. They all left in a big hurry when that sudden sharp sound-wave hit. They did not go far though and I found them again in about a minute. I also noticed they were fine with the leopard sharks and harbor seals swimming by them, until they made a sudden movement.

I was joking with friends that we could have gotten a limit with one well placed shot. I was not able to get back out there, but I am stoked to have the video.

Re: Video of Big White Seabass School

Why do you ever dive without a gun? Semi serious question

Working in this case. Finished the job and took a detour back. Sometimes I like to dive with just the camera so I get better shots. It is fun to follow around someone hunting too. Not too practical to film a hunter while trying to do it yourself.

It was shot with a gopro hero 2 in a dive housing. I have a rose colored filter.
