Remark: Saw it while SCUBA diving at the "ARRF20" fish aggregating device setup by local traditional fisherfolk about 5 km offshore in front of Pondicherry town. There was a school of about 15-20 of them that appeared and on seeing me disappeared again. This is the first time that I have seen them during a dive. The fishermen however catch them in their nets.
