But two men in Southern California did just the opposite. And jumped right in. Four men were spearfishing yesterday off the coast of Santa Barbara when they saw, look at it, a hammerhead shark.

And he came straight in to the point where we were pulling our fins in and keeping our limbs close to our body. That would be a good idea.
