Jealous! Great pic. Details, please! What site? Looks like either the top of North Wall or a second dive shallow site? What time of day? Truly your lucky day!
Photo of Hammerhead was taken by 1 of our Neptune's divers, Adam, on April 7th at Eagle Ray Pass on the North Wall on our 9 AM 2 tank trip. He was just cruising along the top of the wall at 60 ft.
Sweet! You were indeed lucky. We have a few hundred dives in the Caymans and only saw one hammerhead there – a brief encounter. It was on the Brac, a morning dive on the North side with Divi. It too was cruising a reef-top – a shallow one, perhaps 20 feet. Only my buddy and I and one other buddy team saw it. They were doing their first or second post-certification dive and probably didn't realize how fortunate they were in those waters. Several of the staff admitted they'd never seen one.
What a great picture.
Are sharks common in these waters? I'm back in July and would love to see some.
Not really!
On the east end, you have a decent chance of seeing reef sharks. On the north wall, the occasional hammerhead as the one above. I have heard of a few bull/tiger sightings. In +-60 dives in Cayman, I have seen reef sharks once ; that's it!
