6 foot long hammerhead, unfortunately I didnt have my camera ready. Some others took pics so Ill post it if I get them. A friend and I headed out with dive locker on the Sunday morning inshore trip. Seas were 3ft rollers, clear skies. First dive was on the Strength, a Minesweeper torn in half. Viz was better than usual at about 30-40ft. Bit of current. Second dive was on the Red Sea, a ocean tug sunk a couple years ago so not as much life. Surface current was ripping along at 5 knots, but once you got below 10 ft and down to the bottom it wasnt a problem. Viz was a little worse, but still decent. The hammerhead showed up after we had finished the second dive, and swam by about 20 ft from the boat. Pretty good day all around.

Totally jealous of the Hammerhead sighting!
Yeah it was cool, we think it was a scalloped hammerhead, brownish, 6 ft long. It swamp by as we were making to leave. Once we started the boat and tried to follow it dove.
