“So as I’m swimming I notice that I’m kind of going into a circle and the fish are sort of swimming faster and faster in the same direction as me which is really weird. Not in my 15 years of spear fishing did I ever experience that, especially holding a spear,” said the swimmer, Nick Perdue.

Perdue believes it was a sign from his father who died of a heart attack when he was just 13. He said his family would visit Lido Beach often, and the ocean was his father’s favorite place.
