18 food Hammerhead shark sighted in Cozumel

A giant 18 food hammerhead shark was sighted near by the shore of cozumel.

Dive Instructor Luis from Diveshop Deep Blue told us today , that he was in the water with 4 students to do there first open water course lessons.
We stayed near by the beach in maybe 3 feed deep water to explain the handling of masks and regulators, when suddenly a giant big hammerhead passing there back.
The students where absolute excited about this beautiful animal, but also scared the hammerhead was just 3 feed away and 18 feed long.
The hammerhead was not realy interested in us, said "michele" from france,instructor Luis said that this shark is verry known by dive instructors from couzmel. Some people call him "Beppo the head".
"Beppo the Head" is sighted by the shore since years from many people, they all say that the shark has a enormes size. And never attacks, he is just saying hello and than dissapearing in the caribbean.
Fishermans from cozumel are saying that in the 50 `s and 60`s hammerheads where verry often in Cozumel , big scools with 200 animals where normal.
Today only "Beppo the head" is sighted.

Cozumel Restaurant Guide likes "Beppo the Head"
