Barracuda


Title – Barracuda
Date – May 2006
Location - Malapascua Island - Philippines

The Foster's barracuda (Sphyraena forsteri) tend to shoal and like many animal species the safety in numbers allows them to confuse their predators, just as their smaller prey try and confuse them, by shoaling in their ten of thousands.

Staying in open public places is one of the most basic steps you can use when trying to act safely in an unfamiliar location.

Travelling alone doesn’t mean you have to stay that way. In most countries you will struggle not to meet other travellers and when you do its worth remembering that if you want to experience something in a remote location, it is worth taking them along. Safety in numbers is not exclusive to the fish world.

Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop was set up to help individuals learn the skills they will need to travel round the world in a safe and confident manner.
