      Watch Divers Fend Off a Hammerhead Shark

      HAMMERED

      POV footage shows what it’s like to be hunted by a shark.

      2015 may go down as the year that sharks finally put humans on the menu. OK, that’s completely inaccurate—the fact is the toothy beasts pose little threat to our kind, even when we’re swimming among them.

      Granted, like most sharks, the hammerhead is facing far more danger from humans, who kill millions and millions of them annually for their fins, than we are from them. But that’s little consolation when you’re surrounded on all sides by the ocean, way out of your natural element.
