Cocos Island: A Dive into Dreams

My journey to Cocos Island has always been fueled by dreams of witnessing the iconic schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks. These gatherings are a spectacle of nature, but my heart sank when I discovered that overfishing had decimated their numbers. Dive after dive, we revisited the sites known for hosting these majestic creatures, but the ocean seemed empty.

A Moment to Remember

It was the day before we were set to leave Cocos when everything changed. At Alcyone Rock, hundreds of hammerheads appeared, swimming gracefully above me. My heart raced as I captured this breathtaking moment—a reminder that these sharks still exist, but they desperately need our protection.
