Hammerhead sharks off Cocos Island.

Cocos Island is a small island about 300 miles offshore of the pacific side of Costa Rica. It's famous for many creatures, but none more than the hammerhead shark. Cocos is a large cleaning station for hammerheads and they come by the thousands to be rid of parasites. Being 100 feet underwater surrounded by hundreds of large hammerhead sharks while knowing you are totally safe is an experience you'll never forget.

    alright goood video people !8z

  • yeah, I noticed that. My ID3 tag on the song had a misspelling. The song is Kismet, track 5, on the album Born by Bond.

  • just a few thing....that video is awesome...nice to see people not trying to kill them for a change. you can never be sure that you are safe in the water with hammerheads, but if its what you like then its a risyou are willing to take. and as far as evolution, one theory is that they evolved that head shape to be better at detecting and maneuvering to catch prey that will sometimes bury itself in the sea floor. -RAF

  • Hammerheads in Cocos are there to be cleaned and are extremely cautious. It would be impossible to touch one for example. On a subsequent trip, when I was only shooting still, I had a dive where literally hundreds of hammerheads swarmed our group and came within 3 feet consistently. So many sharks that it started to go dark yet there was absolutely no danger. In many ways Cocos can be a difficult trip but sharks are never the problem :)

  • Enjoy these sights while you can,some humans can care less about its environment and are destroying it.Too much over fishing and environmental disasters,sometimes the future just looks ugly.

  • Nice Music
