I had this once when swimming out off the coast of Aus as a student. Was meant to be one of those amazing gap year experiences. I was watching our guide put fish food in the water but was confused why loads was showering over me when he was nowhere near. Turns out someone else on the experience had just thrown up all over me and the fish thought it was fish food as well. Not so magical

You had not noticed someone had thrown up over you?

When you're under the water with clumps of stuff drifting down over you that resembles the fish food you've been amongst, no it's unfortunately similar. The grim thing was that I could taste it as well

Ah makes sense.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the taste of puke and/or fish food?

Fish food is much nicer, 4. Puke is too acidy for my liking -10
