Starting a thread where we can keep track of and marvel at the unusual/unexpected experiences.
Today I spent a few minutes with a hammerhead shark. The first I've seen here!
Somewhere near Santa Rosa wall. Was cruising at ~150 and saw it come up the wall towards me from beyond the range of visibility (a little turbid today) . Saw the shape moving maybe 100ft below me. I descended and we met at 170. It stopped the ascent and cruised parallel to me along the contours of the wall a few minutes. Comfortably glided into a few overhangs and around an outcropping before speeding up and leaving me behind.
Magnificent experience, and now we have a thread to talk about such things!
