Galapagos Underwater 2015

And then it happened. A large school of enormous hammerheads appeared (literally) from out of the blue (the shadowy figures on the bottom). They were only about 15 feet below us, but we were already down deep and couldn't go any further. The sharks circled for maybe 2 minutes, then disappeared. Later in the dive, another school of hammerheads showed up, but they were even deeper. However, these weren't the last hammerheads I saw on the trip... several of them did a swim-by below us one afternoon as we were snorkeling. Now that was truly thrilling :)
