hammerheads

Hammerheads are terrific and mighty creatures! I came across them only once, diving into the waters of Pescador Island, a well known tiny and rocky islet, just off the coast of Moal Boal, the Philippines.
I was thirty meters deep when I heard Claude, my French dive-buddy, banging his knife against the cylinder, suddenly drawing my attention: a coupple of hammerheads were passing rather quickly, undisturbed, above us…That vision is firmly fixed in my memory although it happened almost fourteen years ago. I have to say that, as soon as I got my bungalow after that dive, as an old.fashioned sailor who had survived a shipwrecks, I drew this sketch in the style of a contemporary ex-voto.
