This sounds like when we encoutered the whale shark and 2 giant manta rays, last winter in the Phillipines...Took a couple hours to figure out what it was...Then we finnally saw them...They were creaming jelly fish off the toop od the waters...Even wiht 5 yaks going in circles in the area, them critters would still breach the surface all around us, even coming inches from us [ many times to each yaks]...
