This shot takes you to the heart of why these sharks come in such great numbers to Wolf and Darwin Islands.

You can make out clearly a mating scar on her shoulder and a king angelfish coming from above and two barberfish from below to clean the wound.

She will slow down and allow these and many other cleaner fish to pick over her body while she drifts slowly toward the rocks below.

When they are being cleaned these hammerheads seemed pretty approachable.
