Of all the places to see Schooling Hammerheads in the world, I feel lucky to have 3 hammerhead viewing locations here in Japan: Yonaguni Island, Oshima Island, and Mikomoto Island. One of them, Mikomoto Island, is just 3 hours from Tokyo and is going absolutely bonkers right now with Scalloped hammerhead sharks. The Kuroshio (black current or warm current) has come to Japan early (again) this year, bringing the hammerhead sharks earlier and in higher numbers.
In this video, we learn a bit about the scalloped hammer, where to see them in Japan, some dive logistics, and lots of videos from recent dives. Let’s have a look.
