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. And in the style of nineteenth century sailors or travellers who survived shipwrecks and disasters, as soon as I got my bungalow -surviving that very special dive- I drew this sketch in the style of a contemporary ex-voto.
