Bimini, Bahamas. I waited, kneeling on the sandy ocean floor, watching a majestic Great Hammerhead survey the area. As she swam towards me, I prepared to take my shot. She moved closer and closer and wasn't turning away from me, allowing me to get a wonderful close up shot, before she finally steered away from me. Never feeling threatened, I only felt privileged to have the opportunity to share her home for a short while.
