European barracuda (Sphyraena sphyraena)

            At a depth of about 30 metres on the wreck of the Um El Faroud at the Blue Grotto off the south of Malta.

When I was looking up their latin name in wikipedia I also discovered that the collective noun for a group of barracuda is a battery. It seems appropriate for such a tough-looking predator.
