"Apparently one of Jacques Cousteau's favorite dive sites, it is a difficult dive that always has strong currents and is not always achievable. It is normally associated with the large schools of hammerheads that populate Cocos, but, due to El Nino, they were driven deeper by the warmer water. The dive was still exciting, though, as we hung on to the edge to watch the white tips hanging in the current and then circling for something"
