Sharks Attacking Humans

Sharks Attacking Humans

Of the 350 shark species that roam in the waters of our planet, only 20% are capable of either performing a shark attack on humans or even coming into contact with them. In fact, 80% of sharks are either too small, are plankton either or live where humans are nowhere to be seen so they do not pose any threat to mankind.

One of nature's most unusual creatures, the Hammerhead Shark is an amazing beast to see. There are nine hammerhead species already identified (the ninth specimen was identified in South Carolina in 2006), of which three can be dangerous to humans, although shark attacks by hammerheads are almost unheard of. Hammerhead Point, also known as Madivaru Corner, is a dive site in Rasdhoo Atoll, Maldives, where Hammerheads pass by the reef wall early every morning, along with a variety of large deep-water fish. This breathtaking dive is a must-see for any diving enthusiast in the Maldives.
