During diving in Sea of Cortez with Nautilus Belle Amie, the crews took us to Las Animas on 4 September 2023 hoping to see hammerheads. We got lucky.

Great video. We did a Cocos Island trip back around 1992 and all the Hammerheads were deep. Very deep. We were doing 190' on air for 20 seconds of shark-level video. Insane looking back on it but we survived so there is that. 
The last time I dived Las Animas was 1986 on the old Baja Explorador. Nasty ship that. Loved the shallow diving around the island. M

Thanks for the compliment & sharing your old story!
I dove in Manuelita Outside (Cocos) in 2018 & in Darwin (Galapagos) in 2022, got close encounters with the hammerheads in much shallower depth, around 80’.

) might have spotted the hammerheads in a slightly shallower area. I hit 120 and Eric was only slightly deeper.Similar threads
