hammerhead shark
Right!
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.
