hammerhead sharkRight!Small to medium size hammerheads like Sphyrna lewini are very common in Algarve sea waters.This hammerhead shark species was my only encounter with a shark during my amateur diver activity in Algarve.It was rather large, bigger than myself, perhaps 2 meters long, and he swimmed slowly around me, curious and keeping distance.Useless to say I carefully get back to my father's boat, which was anchored about 5 miles from the coastline, in front of Tavira city.However, there is no shark attack ever registered in Algarve's waters.
