intoxicado del coco #14

School of scalloped hammerhead sharks at Cocos Island, Costa Rica. This picture was taken at Alcyone point, underwater cliff called after Cousteau's "Alcyone" exploration ship, on board which he discovered this place. Alcyone is famous for ripping currents bringing huge schools of hammerheads. To witness them you need to go as deep as 25-30 meters, so diving without Nitrox there is not practical.
