This is the breathtaking moment a diver came face to face with a 'fish tornado' off the Mexican coast. Tori Hester, 25, from San Diego, California, was diving in Cabo Pulmo when the huge school of Trevally fish began circling above her. Husband Jeff, 26, was on hand to capture the incredible moment using his underwater camera. Stunning: Tori Hester was diving off the coast of Mexico when the school of fish began circling above her . 'Today, the biomass is booming and the ecosystem is returning to a healthy state which is how we managed to witness this incredible sight,' Jeff explained . 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 hadn't always been like this. In 1995, a marine park was established by residents to tackle the problem of overfishing. 'Today, the biomass is booming and the ecosystem is returning to a healthy state which is how we managed to witness this incredible sight,' he explained.
