The Last Centurion

My dive partner, Jim Beckett, and I are finishing our last deep dive of the day, hoping to spot a Scalloped hammerhead. At a depth of one hundred feet, and silhouetted by the sun, we look up to sight this dark shape silently making its way toward us. Because of relentless gill and ghost netting, today, hammerhead sharks are well protected around Cocos Island.
